You don't have to wait for 3.0.  Just create an object file which contains a  
NIB section.  e.g,

------
cc -g -o file.o -c file.m 

echo "linking " $1 "with its nib file"

ld -o complexfile.o  -r  file.o -sectcreate __NIB file.nib file.nib
-------
This will take a class "file" and its corresponding nib file "file.nib" and  
compile 'em into file "complexfile.o".  To load the class and the nib section,
just use objc_loadModules().  Look in Digital Librarian for more info.
Once again, you only have to load the file "complexfile.o".
