Ah, CPS again:-)
I don't want to do this, because the interface is undocumented.
CPS would also have allowed us to do other nifty things, like
connecting to the window server without being in a .app
framework, but I think relying on undocumented calls is simply
too dangerous.
At some point in the future there's a good chance Apple will
take the interface away, and suddenly Python stops working. And
it will really stop working: you'll get an undefined external
when you try to start the interpreter.
