[Pythonmac-SIG] py2app and plist entries

I tried py2app on my wxPython for the first time today, expecting it  
to be a long and painful chore -- and was pleasantly surprised that it  
worked right off the bat.

Now I'm wondering a bit about options, mainly for things that end up  
in the Info.plist file.  I do see that I could build my own Info.plist  
and specify it with the --plist option, but I really don't believe  
that I know better than it does what should be in that file; I just  
want to tweak a couple of things, like the bundle identifier.  I see  
how to set the icon file, but no way to set the bundle identifier,  
version strings, etc.  Is there any way to do so?

Also, the py2app help says that I can give --plist a dict.  Anybody  
have an example of that?  And do the options I give it that way become  
the entire Info.plist, or do they just override the corresponding  
entries of the autogenerated one?

Finally, it also says --plist can be a "plistlib.Plist".  What's that?

Thanks,
- Joe
