I'm working on an input method that will target OS 10.4 and up, so I am using the TMS Component + UI Server architecture for developing my input method rather than the new IME Kit for OS 10.5. I've downloaded and read through the sample BasicInputMethod from Apple, and while it is extremely helpful, it leaves me with a few questions regarding components.

1) Is there any good documentation on "components"? I've been reading the following documents, but I'm still unclear about components.
* Text Manager Service - http://developer.apple.com/documentation/mac/Text/Text-409.html
* Audio units, which mentions components and bundles (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MusicAudio/Conceptual/AudioUnitProgrammingGuide/AudioUnitDevelopmentFundamentals/chapter_2_section_3.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40003278-CH7-DontLinkElementID_9).
* Quicktime components (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/ComponentMgr/1CompMgr4QTIntroduction/chapter_1_section_1.html)

2) How does one build a "component" with XCode? I noticed that the project builder config in the BasicInputMethod sample outputs a component as the final binary. With XCode I can't seem to figure out how to configure my project to output a component. Is a component the same thing as a CFBundle, just renamed?
