Almost, the bootstrap is still PPC only for now.  That's another  
issue, because if I ship a universal bootstrap and someone uses it  
with some subset of PPC-only modules, then the application will not  
work on a x86 machine since it will run the bootstrap native.

There may be some kind of Info.plist flag that can toggle which is  
the preferred arch, that would be ideal, otherwise I will either have  
to make py2app smart enough to do something like lipo -thin and split  
off everything but the preferred arch.

Needless to say, universal binary support is going to be a pain!
