Bug Description

Brewtarget will fail to open when opened from a case sensitive filesystem. If you're on a case insensitive FS and want to reproduce, you can create a cAsE sEnSiTiVe image (dmg) and put Brewtarget.app on there. When you try to run it, it will fail.

If you try running from the terminal, the error message says: The application cannot be opened because its executable is missing.

If you try double clicking it, the error message says: You can't open the application "brewtarget" because it may be damaged or incomplete.

Running from the dmg provided in the download page works (because it is not a case sensitive filesystem).

To fix: update Info.plist here http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~rocketman768/brewtarget/master/view/head:/mac/Info.plist#L21 and change Brewtarget for brewtarget (all lowercase) since that's what the executable is called.
