I haven't gone through and done testing on this just yet, but I do know
that you will still be able to include your images, sounds, etc. in the app
bundle. What may need to happen is that you move those files to the
./Contents/Resources folder rather than in the ./Contents/MacOS folder.

I'll be experimenting with this over the coming weeks as I believe I am
going to have to reorganize my app bundles as well.
