Okay, that last sentence finally started to make some sense.  Basically
you can fixup your executable and any libraries you need to have the
"@executable_path" part *after* the fact.  This is not about python, but
see this excellent document on bundling Qt apps which explains how this
is done:

http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/deployment-mac.html

It will tell you every thing you need to know about making it so app
bundles can include and link against libraries and frameworks inside the
app bundle itself.  The keys are "otool" and "install_name_tool."

Yeah that sounds like one way to do it.
