Comment (by geal):

 So, packaging a .app works, but starting tahoe is "challenging".

 It apparently requires a Tahoe.home file (I can directly put it in
 allmydata-tahoe.app/Contents/), then it needs the tahoe support script,
 and this one tries to load allmydata-tahoe==1.10.0.post42.dev0.

 Could you explain the rationale behind this startup system? It may require
 some Mac specific tricks to make the packaging work.
