I feature freeze is fine with me, I don't have any new version planned 
for the forseeable future :-)

I'll have a look at the remaining know bugs.

BTW. I increased the version number in CVS to avoid confusion with the 
installer  on your home-page.

I'll also have a more serious look bin-python-main.m. I definitely like 
the idea of just exec-ing a normal python with the right argv.

The only thing I'm not sure about w.r.t. binary distribution of 
applications is honouring a 'defaults' settings for the location of the 
python binary. But that is something we can fix in our in-house version 
of python (we ship extension modules, and those might not work with a 
different version of python).

Documentation, the mortal enemy of coders :-)
