For setting the menu bar, stick this somewhere in your app's controller:

sbItem = [[NSStatusBar systemStatusBar]
statusItemWithLength:NSVariableStatusItemLength];
[sbItem retain];
[sbItem setHighlightMode:YES];
[sbItem setImage:sbImage];
[sbItem setMenu:sbMenu];

You'll probably want some kind of menu coming out of your status bar
icon, which is what sbMenu is meant to be an outlet for. You can call
-setImage: at any time, which will make your icon change.
