I found it was enough just to name it in the application's Info.plist  
file (in its Cocoa CamelCase form).  e.g. my application class is  
called HOPPI-APPLICATION and the relevant fragment of Info.plist is

   <key>NSPrincipalClass</key>
   <string>HoppiApplication</string>

Note that I use the CCL BUILD-APPLICATION form to construct the  
Hoppi.app folder, as in the following fragment

   (ccl::build-application :name "Hoppi"
                           :copy-ide-resources nil
                           :info-plist (ccl::make-info-dict :principal- 
class "HoppiApplication"
                                                            ...

where the full form can be found in src/lisp/app-build.lisp in the  
Hoppi repository (http://bitbucket.org/cloudycat/hoppi).

All this was found by trial and error though, so this may not  
necessarily be the "correct" way of doing it.  But as they say, Works  
for me!
