[Boa Constr] Contrib: makepy dialog for Boa

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@ho...>]

I wanted to play around with Boa as an IDE a little more, so I decided I'd
make a MakePy dialog for it (a Win32COM thing that lets you auto-generate
wrappers for COM controls).  It's slightly more advanced than the dialog in
PythonWin, as it lets you search for libraries.  This isn't particularly
beautiful, but it does seem to work.  Eventually you'd want to create
Design-time controls and options on the design palette for each wrapped
control (maybe even scanning the gen_py directory for controls generated by
other systems), but for now it's just a "tell it to generate a wrapper"
dialog.

Thoughts that have arisen as I worked:
	An option for PythonWin key bindings would be nice (is there a way to
plug-in whole key-binding sets with minimal fuss?).
		Block indent/dedent mapped to tab/shift-tab is very useful
		Block-comment/uncomment mapped to Alt-3, Alt-4 is nice
		Ctrl-G mapped to Goto
	Option for tab-preservation/conversion wasn't immediately obvious in the
interface, possibly in the preferences.
	Tools to tabify/untabify source are needed.
	Auto-complete windows a-la PythonWin are very helpful (for me anyway).
	Might be nice to have an option that makes the "interface" text get wrapped
in _( ) for internationalisation (or whatever the standard is), with the
files generated for translators on the side.
	The trace/error window doesn't appear until the client process completes
and doesn't seem to update if I have to kill the client process.  Makes it
hard to use with mis-behaving apps.
	Option in the inspector to auto-generate shortcuts would be cool.
	Would be good to have option to auto-generate a test-harness application
for dialogs/frames.  See the attached for a simplistic harness.

Module attached, enjoy yourselves,
Mike
