yes, I meant I have no idea where in the Py2app code, py2app actually 
generates the __boot__.py file, so I can't see where to add a patch...

as you've seen, an app bundle is simply a directory with a special name 
and structure -- Finder shows it in a special way, but you can 
manipulate the files in it from the command line or a python script just 
like you'd manipulate any files.

so, in your setup.py, after running setup(), you can add code that 
either adds stuff to __boot__.py, or replaces it with another one -- 
whatever is easiest.
