NW.js 0.22.x for macOS is Using Symlinks in Binaries

[evshiron]

NW.js 0.22.x starts to use symlinks in binaries, may I know if it's intended or something?

Previous versions of NW.js for macOS didn't have symlinks, but now people might encounter problems when they want to create macOS builds of their projects from Windows. At this moment, we have issues like evshiron/nwjs-builder-phoenix#30 and nwjs/npm-installer#56.

If this is the expected behavior for later versions, please confirm it so I can prepare an update for nwjs-builder-phoenix.

I can confirm it's expected as this is a change from upstream. Currently we have no plan to change it back as it will increase rebase effort.

Thank you for pointing out that.
