Description
There is currently code that ensures the Python APIs stay separated. This uses otool to pick out the paths of the dependencies but it turns out that otool is only installed with XCode and is not a standard part of OS X unlike ldd on Linux distributions.
Its usage should be removed as it means Mantid cannot be used on a "clean" Mac

Verified by grepping for mention of otool in the source code, and by temporarily renaming otool on my mac and observing that both old and new python appear to still work.

otool is not a standard tool on OS X unlike ldd on Linux distributions. The dependent libraries are now assumed to be in the MacOS directory rather than using otool.
