Ok, I'll try to remember adding these when I add this to CVS:-)

I would really like the code to be executed *before* any nib files are 
read. but in main.m you can't really do anything yet as AppKit hasn't 
yet pulled itself into existence.

Is there any call we could do in main() that would result in our code 
being called after AppKit/Foundation are initialized, but before 
anything else happens?

There's lots of useful applications for which to have the OSA suite in 
some situations. I've taken the minimal approach of including only a 
select few prebuilt. For Python 2.4 I hope to have either automated the 
process, or at least streamlined it.

Ok, will do.
