Thanks! I didn't mean to bother you, but while taking notes and
executing commands I was happy to find some hackish way to get
a working app... I'm making progress in understanding what's
going on and will look deeper into the source.

Something I seem to miss in bundlebuilder is the ability to build
not only in a specific output directory but also to take an in-
put from a specific directory. At least the options below don't
indicate this. Maybe this is because bundlebuilder try following
the philosophy of Distutils? BTW, what about having bundlebuilder
as a plugin for Distutils, so you can generate OS X bundles, like
RPMs, say?

Here is a result of a maybe useful application that I've just
build with Python included, please let me know if it causes any
strange (startup) effects for any of you:

Thanks and regards,
