Cool! I'll check it out. One minor suggestion: since this is a mac based
forum, I think .tar.gz are not that appropriate: not all mac users have
tar/gzip utils. I'd suggest using StuffIt in the future.

Also cool. Jack's fullbuild.py script (in the source distr.) also controls
CW (using apple events), is there so much you can't do that way that forced
you to write this module??
