Indeed. Does anyone know what pyconfig.h is used for? Is it a setuptools 
thing? py2app was written before setuptools, and I've found most of what 
I've had to do by hand was due to egg issues.

Here's my code for this:

def AddMacExtras(NAME):
     # post processing:
     print "Adding extra stuff"

     if "-A"in sys.argv:
         print "Building an Alias -- not copying everything"
     else:
         ## ugly hard coding of paths!
         print "adding the pyconfig header"
 
shutil.copy("/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/include/python2.5/pyconfig.h",
 
"dist/%s.app/Contents/Resources/include/python2.5/pyconfig.h"%NAME)



HTH,

-Chris
