The single binary format is from old-Apple technology. The universal binary
format is from NeXT "MAB" technology.
It is reasonable that single binary format can not include universal binary.
"Single file & universal architecture" binary is not present in the world.
So, we have to use bundle format to save AppleScript as an application.
But... sometimes we faced to a lot of problems in saving scripts as "Bundle"
format in Japanese environment. So I hate the *buggy* bundle format.
