That looks exactly as the functionality I was looking for.

Thus, the whole task should be divided into next steps:

1. Set delegate for current NSApp.
2. In above delegate implement -applicationShouldTerminate: method and 
return NSTerminateLater.
3. Say, this delegate (or some other object) received Notification 
saying that application is fine to quit now (after all necessary steps 
performed) then call [NSApp replyToApplicationTerminate:YES] and 
Application will proceed with quitting.

Is that right? Sorry, but I am a freshman in Mac programming :).
