If you subclass from AppKit.NibClassBuilder.AutoBaseClass, all your
outlets are created automatically from the nib. Most examples in the
Examples sudirectory use it. You need to call
AppKit.NibClassBuilder.extractClasses() with your nib's name before you
can use AutoBaseClass.

Regarding actions: you have to write them yourself anyway, so I'm not
even sure how PyObjC could help you there.
