To implement the resource fork based carbon application, You need a 
resouce source file, say 'mplayer.r' defining a atleast 'plst' resource 
(icns resources for the defined filetypes would be nice too), whose 
content is identical to the Info.plist file in the appwrapper, and an 
extra step in the makefile performing a 'Rez -o mplayer mplayer.r'.

The appwrapper solution requires the following directory structure:

mplayer.app/
  Content/
   Info.plist
   MacOS
     mplayer

In my setup I currently use the appwrapper format, mostly because it is 
easier to hand edit the Info.plist...
