Btw, you don't *need* to include all sources from "." as resources,
_as_long_as_ you either use --standalone or --link.

With --link, you basically create an applet that contains symlinks to
everything you  specify, so it's very much tied to your setup. But: also
the main .py program is symlinked, and with the way Python handles the
main script, it turns out the the directory of the _original_ main
script (not the dir that contains the symlink!) gets on sys.path. So
things "just work". (But the truly best thing about --link is that you
don't have to rebuild your app(let) when you edit sources or nibs!)

And with --standalone, modulefinder.py will pick up the needed modules
anyway, so you *also* don't need to add your other modules to the
resources list.

In retrospect, I find the option-less "python buildapp.py build"
invocation pretty useless. I personally never use it.

Time to write documentation! :)
