Sorry, I don't understand what this is about.

Well, the point is that osacompile is needed to generate the whole 
launcher application, osascript is only meant to execute an applescript 
from the commandline. At runtime I cannot call osacompile because there 
is nothing that would trigger it. (Because we haven't built it...)
We could try to check in the complete launcher application, but this has 
to be maintained with every milestone, otherwise you end up getting old 
stuff if something has changed, which is quite likely at the moment.

Perhaps someone can come up with a good idea ?
