If I punt on the py2app support, I should be able to get it done in the
next 3-4 days.  I'll send a quick email to python-list when it's ready.

Here's a rough roadmap of where the project is heading:

  v0.4.0:  cx_freeze support and a tutorial [the next 3-4 days]
  v0.4.1:  py2app support [the next 2-3 weeks]
  v0.5.0:  differential updates using bsdiff [next few months]


  Cheers,

     Ryan
