You can get rid of the requirement for a wrapper script and command-line arguments on the Mac completely if you set a managed preference for Chrome on your user account.
http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=using-mcx-in-the-dslocal-domain explains a bit about this.

sudo dscl . -mcxset /Users/yourusername com.google.Chrome AuthServerWhitelist always weblogin.inf.ed.ac.uk

Then Chrome will apply these settings whenever it’s started, even without the command line flags.
