AudioUnits are Component Manager Components. They can be built as a
component bundle just like any other QT component.
AudioUnits have to be installed someplace where the Component Manager will
be able to find and register the component bundle. However, there is nothing
stopping you from using the various manual component registration techniques
the Component Manager provides.
