Qt 4.3.1

This is exactly it -- I was able to (manually) run install_name_tool  
against the Qt frameworks that I'd built so that I could put them  
inside my application bundle. I used @loader_path in order to make  
the Qt frameworks relocatable.

But I have found no documentation for doing the same thing with the  
Python.framework -- and it seems that such would not be sufficient,  
in any case.

I have set the PYTHONEXECUTABLE environment variable but that does  
not work. I found out about this environment variable by reading the  
Python source code.

Someone else must have included Python inside an application bundle.  
I think that OpenOffice does this...
