Turns out, it's very easy to put into the Status bar, because the code was 
already
there, just partially commented out! :)

Having it in the Status bar is easy, but not removing the app from the Dock. 

There are a few options. 
1) Could use undocumented private API for NSMenuExtra instead of standard 
NSStatusItem
-- I don't like this idea as it's against Apple recommendations and is 
undocumented
2) Move to using Preference Pane with a Helper Application and have Status Item 
as
option.
-- I like this idea a LOT (very much like Growl does it) and it's the path I've
already started working on.

Putting this on hold while we tackle more urgent issues.
