Title: Recipe for reveal-in-finder (Reveal the current file in the OS X Finder)

A brief summary of what the package does.

What this does:
If M-x reveal-in-finder is invoked in a file-associated buffer, it will open the folder enclosing the file in the OS X Finder. It will also select the file the buffer is associated with within the folder.

If M-x reveal-in-finder is invoked in a buffer not associated with a file, it will open the folder defined in the default-directory variable. In a dired buffer, this should open the current folder in the OS X Finder.

Your association with the package (e.g., are you the maintainer? have you contributed? do you just like the package a lot?).

This is an improved version of the "open-finder" found at the URL below.

Relevant communications with the package maintainer (e.g., package.el compatibility changes that you have submitted).
I am the maintainer.
