Initially, I put the .nib folder in the project, so I could double-click 
on it, but not under version control. Then, I manually used the 
Contextual Menu Item in Finder: Create Archive, and put the resulting 
.zip file in the project, under version control. This requires that, as 
I change the .nib in Interface builder, I remember to check out the .zip 
file, delete it, then create a new .zip file.

Naturally, this means editing the File Mappings preference panel to 
allow .zips in a project as do-nothing files.

I now believe that Miro is right: That I should individually check in 
the .xib and .nib contents files into version control (I can hide them 
in a group in the Codewarrior project file most of the time.) I'll just 
give up on the idea of double-clicking on the .nib package in the 
project, and use the project's title bar menu to get to its containing 
folder in the Finder, where I can easily navigate to the .nib package.

Since .nib FILEs and .xib files are text files in Carbon, then I'll get 
the advantage of source code control diffing.
