Someone will have to teach py2app to compile .xib files. There's  
already code that deals with datamodels for CoreData, enhancing that  
to deal with .xib files should be fairly easy.  The complicating  
factor is that datamodels are explicitly mentioned in the setup.py  
file, while nib files are usually copied as resource files.

I'll get around to that some time, although it is unlikely that that  
will happen before WWDC.
