Your other suggestions I have incorporated (or am incorporating right 
now, along with Bob's suggestion
in private mail that I cater more for 2.2 users too), and actually I've 
put this in the document
already too, but it just struck me that it would be a lot easier if 
NibClassBuilder would also
optionally create the main program. Is it okay if I add a "--main" 
option to NibClassBuilder to do
this?

Actually, coming to think of it, does it even have to be optional? The 
code is going to be
inside an "if __name__ == '__main__':" guard anyway, so we could always 
add it. Or not?
