Aha.  So if I don't have --no-strip, the copy of the
compiled main.m is stripped a second time, right?  I guess
that makes prety much no difference.

BTW, after trying to understand how a py2app-built
plug-in is loaded, it occurred to me that it may not 
be necessary to specify a NSPrincipalClass in 
Info.plist -- I don't think my plug-in defines such 
a class and it didn't look to me like main.m arranges
for one either.  So I tried removing it for one of
my plug-ins and that didn't seem to have any ill 
effects.  Is it safe to leave NSPrincipalClass out 
of Info.plist in general or could it depend on the
behavior of the host application?
