Remaining stuff from Building GUI Vim on MacOS

[Bram Moolenaar]

There is still a section in the Makefile, starting with:


###############################################################################
### MacOS X installation
###
### This installs a runnable Vim.app in $(prefix)

REZ = /Developer/Tools/Rez
RESDIR = $(APPDIR)/Contents/Resources
VERSION = $(VIMMAJOR).$(VIMMINOR)


It appears setting $APPDIR was removed previously, thus it seems this
section is now dead code. Can we delete this?

BTW, the Vim source tree used by Apple for MacOS 10.15.3 is at:

https://opensource.apple.com/source/vim/vim-78.40.1/

This uses the following Xcode project:

https://opensource.apple.com/source/vim/vim-78.40.1/vim.xcodeproj/

There are also some scripts:

https://opensource.apple.com/source/vim/vim-78.40.1/xcodescripts/

I don't know whether any of these can be merged into the Vim tree to enable

building installable packages on MacOS.

Sorry for the late reply (had an overly aggressive email filter that has since been modified) and seems like you already removed it anyway, but I don't think it' used so it was fine to remove.
