MacOSX script to start JMeter from JMX file

Unlike Windows, MacOSX does not make it easy to create a short-cut
that will launch JMeter in a specific directory. By default, a shell
script is launched in the home directory.

In Windows, one can drag & drop a JMX file onto a script and have it
automatically launch JMeter.
The scripts jmeter-t.cmd and jmeter-n.cmd are examples.

It would be really nice if one could do the same in MacOSX but this
does not seem to be possible.
It's easy enough to launch a shell script and have it prompt for a
file name, but I have not been able to find a way to make it as easy
to use as in Windows. If anyone knows better, please advise, so this
can be added to the next JMeter release.
