great, thanks!

The question is, is it still useful?

The thing is, I don't want argv_emulation -- that puts the name of 
dropped files in argv, and this app can't do anything with dropped 
files. It does take other args, though, and -psn was confusing it.

I can't do that, 'cause when it's not in an app bundle, that would break 
something. I could put it in a if frozen: clause, I suppose.

In fact, the solution I came up with is that it doesn't need to do 
anything with arv when bundled anyway, so I just ignore all options in 
that case.

However, it strikes me that it would be nice to have a:

show_carbon_process = False

option in py2app. I'm not going to write it though!

thanks,
-Chris
