KOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!! Huhhuh.. huhhuh..

That's a nice feature, indeed. But I can see that it would only work for 
Cocoa. At least: I can see that you can only create the IB widgets with Cocoa, 
as such an IB widget seems a lot easier to realise in Cocoa. I think we should 
leave this one for later, though, for now I would be happy enough if we could 
(in order of percieved difficulty)

- Use IB to create Carbon-based interfaces
- Use IB to create Cocoa-based interfaces
- Make Python a first-class IB citizen. Or, at least, an almost-first-class 
citizen, if we can get there by decoding the .nib and .xib files. 
Alternatively we could try to decode the .m file into a .py file, but I think 
I would prefer the .nib/.xib.
