[Pythonmac-SIG] Distutils and bundlebuilder

Ok, bundlebuilder builds .app bundles today, but something similar
could also build screensaver bundles or IB palettes or whatever.
Building a vanilla "Tool" (see PB categories) without any GUI in
Python only would be nice, too. And/or do you suggest to extend
bundlebuilder such that it provides the same registration mecha-
nism that distutils "register" now has?
