Because I can internationalize the about box this way much easier. And the 
user is able to get hold of certain texts inside the box (select it and 
drag it out for instance the email addresses and the URLs. Maybe I should 
put a short notice on this into the box).

Hmm, I know that you don't like nibs (I would also prefer a more open 
(that means human readable) format for nibs, something XMLish would be the 
best) but they make lots of things much easier.
