It'll be available when I get around to it.. which is some completely  
indeterminate amount of time.  I'm not currently working on anything  
related to Mac OS X specifically at this time, so I'm not in a hurry.

For the most part, eggs are a better solution than bdist_mpkg anyway  
(except for peripheral stuff like docs, applications, and examples).   
When I do get around to working on py2app's next major version, my  
focus will be to support the building of applications.  bdist_mpkg is  
mostly obsolete in a setuptools world.
