I think i will put in SVN once I get the first working release out :).

The error is from missing Growl.framework (it's actually there,  but  
has the incorrect path to the shared library). The problem is, I  
don't think you can have a layout like: `iTerm.framework/Versions/A/ 
Frameworks/Growl.framework` where `otool -L iTerm.framework/Versions/ 
A/iTerm` is

     …
     @loader_path/Frameworks/Growl.framework/Versions/A/Growl
     …

I tried this, and it did not work. It is complicated to setup,  
however, so I may have made an error.

Solutions:

1. Include a script the user must run after installation. The script  
would run install_name_tool and change the shared library path of the  
iTerm framework linked against the Growl.framework to an absolute  
path. This solution requires the user have the Apple Developer Tools  
installed.

2. Have Allan include Growl.framework with TextMate, and just use  
`@exectuable_path` like normal. We would also include the Python/Perl/ 
Ruby extensions so you actually could use Growl from some of the  
bundles. I'm not sure how useful that would be, but it could be  
interesting for longer running commands.
