Hmm, there is something to be said for that too, as it'll work 
pre-jaguar too. So now we have three stubs: one in Python, one in ObjC, 
one in sh (although I would use /bin/sh, bash wasn't available on 
10.1), and each one has a specific advantage.

How about using the Python stub as the default, but make it easy to use 
the other stubs, and in the documentation explain about that?

[Incidentally, what I was originally really after was a #! line that 
would immediately execute the *correct* python, so we wouldn't need the 
execve(). This, I think, is impossible in the general case. But the 
execve() doesn't seem to be such a big deal anyway on current hardware].
