App bundles don't necessarily lose their command-line functionality, though sometimes a little extra is needed to keep it accessible. The trick is to also make sure a file with appropriate content is created in /etc/paths.d/ (and possibly /etc/manpaths.d), i.e. a line pointing to the path within /Applications/APP.app where the command-line parts are installed. See path_helper(8). -- Greg A.
