How to properly change executable name?

Hi,

I have existing Cocoa apps that contain a space character in the
Product Name, e.g. "My Product.app." Thus inside the package contents
inside the MacOS folder the actual executable name is "My Product." I
would like to change the name of the actual executable so that it does
not contain spaces, but continue to have the application bundle's name
contain spaces. (The primary reason to ease use from the command
line.)

Currently to accomplish this I add the EXECUTABLE_NAME build settings
to the target with a value of "myproduct." However this causes Xcode
to seemingly not be able to locate my executable to run or debug it.
Is there a work-around to "fix" Xcode in this case while maintaining
my custom executable name?

Thanks.
