[PyQt] pyuic vs. uic.loadUi()?

[Kovid Goyal]

Just write a Makefile to help you during development. I really don't think 
it's worth burdening your users with the extra load time. Also if you plan on 
going multi-platform, you will have to write platform specific hacks to 
figure out the loaction of the ui files.
