Is there a reason you like yours better than mine, or does it somehow 
suit PyObjC better (I haven't looked at it for aeons... something like 
3 weeks:-)?

I would definitely prefer the MacPython and the PyObjC version of the 
script to be the same, so if there's a good reason to use this one for 
PyObjC I'll change the MacPython applet structure to use the name 
realmain.py too (but convince me first:-).

For people who don't track Python CVS: the difference is that in my 
version I do
for name in ["__rawmain__.py", "__rawmain__.pyc", "__main__.py", 
"__main__.pyc"]:
around the os.path.join(....., name). This gives me the current applet 
naming scheme (__rawmain__, if it exists, will read AppleEvents for 
ODOC's and stuff them into sys.argv and then call __main__, which can 
then be a normal unix-style script but still get the files the user 
dropped on the applet in sys.argv).
