Anyway, this is just a suggestion. Most Mac BitPim users do seem to
have Python installed. In any case, I've attached a shell script that
could be used to replace the current BitPim python startup script. It
uses a small shell function to extract the parent directory name from a
filepath because the 'dirname' shell utility (like Python) is only
there in MacOS X if the user installs the optional BSD package.
Otherwise, it's just about line-for-line equivalent with the python
version.

Cheers,

Tom
