Scripts/gen_all_protocols.py scans all frameworks for informal  
protocols and adds those to the wrappers in the source tree. Formal  
protocols are found at runtime, but only if there are classes that  
actually use those protocols due to the way we locate protocols.

There are some minor issues with the current PyObjC tree on the  
Leopard preview, luckily no really complex ones. I have patches for  
these issues in a private tree, but cannot check those in because the  
previews are under NDA.
