OSX uses app folders (not compressed images), so people can change whatever
they want if they so desire:

$ find /Applications/Subsurface.app
/Applications/Subsurface.app
/Applications/Subsurface.app/Contents/Frameworks/libgit2.23.dylib
/Applications/Subsurface.app/Contents/Frameworks/libGrantlee_Templates.5.dylib
...
/Applications/Subsurface.app/Contents/MacOS/Subsurface
...

However, I strongly believe that any user changes to our distribution
(templates etc)  should stay separate from the app image.  Maybe in
$HOME/.subsurface?   We'll create a lot of pain for ourselves using a RW
app image, I think.
