Update TODO re: Mac stuff

The macOS zip file already was automated (though it should really be a
separate target in build.xml), and I have added a note about the
possibility of using Sean Riley's appbundler fork as an alternative to
jarbundler and the universalJavaApplicationStub shell script.

I went with the stub and jarbundler because Oracle has had a bad habit
of regularly changing and deprecating Mac bundling practices, but the
bundling of a JRE should make that a one-click (well, one-doubleclick)
solution for the end user.  If the GUI app *worked* that would be a
strong consideration.  It's not even a waste of diskspace on a system
using APFS if multiple copies of the JRE are on the system, if they're
the same JRE.

Also noted that CF card access as a raw disk is possible on Windows as
well.
