Bug Description

After .app dragged/copied to Case-Sensitive filesystem, it won't start while reporting broken application.
Application icon appears with grey "No-Entry" sign.

From command line it looks like this:
$ open -a /Applications/Mixxx.app
The application /Applications/Mixxx.app cannot be opened because its executable is missing.

The reason for that is in-consistency in naming of main executable.
Mixxx.app/Contents/Info.plist mention <key>CFBundleExecutable</key><string>Mixxx</string> while actual executable called "mixx". Replacng CFBundleExecutable value "Mixxx" with "mixxx" in .plist fixes the problem.

If invoked from installation .dmg, it work perfectly.

Oh man, I had no idea HFS+ wasn't case sensitive unless you explicitly format it that way.

This has likely been an oversight for years. Fixed in master.
