where does the standalonebuilder saves the substacks in an Mac OS App?

[J. Landman Gay]

The standalone builder will move files to a Resources folder when it 
builds the app. For backward compatibility, scripts that reference the 
engine folder are redirected to the Resources folder automatically.
