[Eric] Eric5 at Mac OS X / Homebrew

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

the next release will introduce the '-n' switch to the install.py script. That can be used to pass the 
Mac application bundle path to the script. It defaults to '/Applications' (i.e. if not given). That should 
enable homebrew to create a working recipe.

Regards,
Detlev
