Thanks for the suggestion. However, I just tried it and a couple of things went
wrong. The name in the build settings was what appeared in the about box (when
I ran in debug). And the program (the one that I archived and then exported)
crashed on launch, apparently because the bundle identifier doesn’t match what
it thinks is the product name.
