We have TM_SUPPORT_PATH/bin/find_app to find the full path to  
installed applications.

 From shell you could use it e.g. like this:

if find_app >/dev/null «bundle identifier of iTerm»; then
   echo 'We got iTerm installed!'
fi

The redirect to /dev/null is only because find_app returns the full  
path to the application.
