Well, it seems lazbuild itself already builds application bundles. No
idea if you first need to have clicked on create application bundle in
project options but it works.

My version of an application bundle/.dmg creation script can be found at
https://bitbucket.org/reiniero/smalltools/src/
directory BankConvert,
banco_OSX_bundle_dmg_creation_make-mac-dist.sh

Catchy name, eh ;)

The only thing it adds over Kostas' version is a link to the
Applications directory inside the dmg so the user can drag and drop the
application bundle on the link to install more easily.

Thanks,
Reinier
