 To permanently authenticate Borgend to use the keychain, and therefore not
 have to enter the keychain password every time Borgend is launched, it is
 useful to encapculate it into a macOS app. This can be done with

 The app hould be placed under `dist/`. Copy it to your `Applications`
 directory, and set it up to launch on login.
 
-If you are keen on wasting your life, you can try to run py2app without the
-`-A` option to create a standalone app that you can copy to computers without
