  Unfortunately not everything in the directory gets put into the 
bundle. :-(

  That seemed to work.

  I can't figure out the right syntax to get it to process an options 
list to make an icon, set the dest_dir, etc... Maybe I'll just sit back 
and wait for some of the more seasoned PythonMAC folks  to give this a 
going-over.

  Even though the `resource` files are where they are supposed to be, I 
still get an error on running the program about recursion errors and 
that it cannot find it's resource files.

  Thanks!
