If you're just worried about users accidentally breaking things you can set the "Lock all connections" preference in Interface Builder, and you can also judiciously lock the frame geometry on objects appropriately using the inspector in IB. I also find that grouping objects together ("Layout" menu, "Group") can help avoid accidental alterations.

Finally, the only file which actually matters inside the nib is the "objects.nib" file. I think you can get rid of the other files in there without any adverse side effects, but you users will no longer be able to open the nib in IB. Note, before actually doing this in a shipping app, you might want to find official word from the Apple docs or an Apple employee that this is true.

That is the way cocoa works. Nibs contain serialized objects and therefore do not need to get compiled. Your aplication package will only be viewable by users that have xcode installed. There is and there was never a need for compiled nibs - thats my opinion.
