For one, upgrade to the CVS version: it gives much better error messages

I don't think it currently gets much better than using print and
catching exceptions from NSApplicationMain, but one thing I'd like to
try at one point is to use the Python debugger from an PyObjC app.
Perhaps one day we'll have a proper graphical debugger that can debug an
app from a different process.
