BTW, here's an example of the library issues (issue #2)...
ImportError: Failure linking new module:
/usr/lib/libwx_macud-2.5.3.dylib: dyld:
/Users/panther/Desktop/MasterBackup.app/Contents/MacOS/MyBackupProg can't
open library: /usr/lib/libwx_macud-2.5.3.dylib (No such file or
directory, errno = 2)
