I have some objects in an application instantiated by the Interface
Builder.  I would like them to do some initialization at the beginning
of the program to set up a few initial instance variables to default
values.  I will be using outlets, so this initialization can take place
only after *all* the objects have been created, so overriding the
+new method won't fly.  Is there some good way to do this?  I guess the
ideal thing would be if there was some instance method that gets
automatically called for each object that IB makes.

Anybody know?
