Note though that the article you reference is about developing an
add-in for optional functionality, which is also what CVL uses bundles
for. A lot of applications do this, especially ones like the Adobe
CS3 suite. But that's often because the functionality they're
bundling exists on the same side of the architectural divide as
third-party plugins.

As of a few months ago, there was only one mention of @executable_path
in the docs, and none prior to that. @loader_path was nicely
documented, though. Before posting I Googled "@executable_path" and
"@executable_path macro" and the only hits on the first page were for
mailing list posts, source code, or other outside references, which is
the only way I discovered the macro in the first place.
