clearly a bad idea!

I haven't seen that option -- but you're right it should. Some quick 
poking did not make it clear to me where py2app builds the __boot.__py 
file though.

Anyway, you can always hack around this by adding some code to your 
setup.py that changes __boot__.py after building the app.

I find I have to add a lot of extra fiddling code to accommodate eggs 
and other deficiencies in py2app, but I don't have the time to get to 
know py2app enough to submit a patch, so there you go.
