	OK, not exactly sure how these recipes work, but here's what I did:

- copied matplotlib.py to dabo.py
- added 'import dabo' to __init__.py in recipes
- changed dabo.py to read:

def check(cmd, mf):
    m = mf.findNode('dabo')
    if m is None or m.filename is None:
        return None
    return dict(
        packages = ['dabo']
    )

- compiled dabo.py to dabo.pyc
- re-ran the build scripts

	I do see all the Dabo localization files being copied over in the  
build process, as well as the 'using recipe' message for dabo. But now  
when I run the generated app, I get the error message: ImportError: no  
module named dabo.

	If I view the Contents of the generated app, I see the full dabo  
directory and subdirectories, located in Resources/lib/python2.5/. So  
it seems like I'm getting closer, but don't understand enough to  
figure out why the main script of the app can't find the dabo module.

	Any insights?
