Sounds like PyObjC has evolved to the point of needing pyobjc to build 
pyobjc;  kind of like emacs builds temacs to gain access to a lisp 
engine prior to building the full app... or the way gcc bootstraps 
itself.

Can we build the objc module, then generate the files, then build the 
rest of the modules?
