[Gtkwave-users] OSX launcher script improvement

[Daniel O'C. <da...@do...>]

Hi,
I am having trouble with gtkwave built from Macports so I downloaded the prebuilt binary (3.3.107) which does work, however the launcher has a limitation where it expects CWD to be in the bundle.

This is a bit limiting as it makes it harder to call from the command line, however it is easily fixed:

(this is a hand edited patch so the filenames might be wrong)

I was going to file a patch on sf.net but it appears to be disabled so I am posting it here.
