Ah, yes, all the installers have this problem: supporting documents 
like examples and documentation aren't installed.

I think we need to do two things about this:
- for the future, think of a way this could be added to distutils.
- for now, we need a way to give users who do a binary install of a 
package a way to get access to the examples. One way would be to create 
an extra installer, pyobjc_examples-1.0b2-binary, that would put the 
examples and any other interesting stuff you don't get with a binary 
install into /Applications/MacPython-2.3/Extras.

Does this sound like a workable plan?
