Read the documentation files NSWindowController.html and
WinControllersAndNibs.html.
Basically, the architecture is this. You make an NSWindowController
subclass for each nib. Within each nib (i.e. in IB), you hook up the File's
Owner to the appropriate NSWindowController subclass, and its window outlet
to the main window of that nib. Now you're good to go. When your code
allocs an NSWindowController of the correct subclass and says
initWithWindowNibName to it, the nib is loaded; when your code releases
that instance, the nib is unloaded.
