You get the idea...
I think I figured this out.
Until Jaguar, Bundles were supposed to include a PkgInfo file which
contained a copy of the type and creator from the Info.plist. Now, the
PkgInfo is not generated by Project Builder when compiling a Bundle,
but the replacement mechanism to ensure Bundles show up as single
files, not folders, doesn't seem to be in place yet.

Until this is fixed, manually adding a PkgInfo does make the component
appear as a file-like-thing.
There's a sample PkgInfo for the Apple Sample Multitap Delay AudioUnit
on the swiki:

BTW... I discovered this issue when trying to create an iTunes visual
plug-in. I could compile the sample iTunesXPlugin, but, for the life
of me, i don't get iTunes to recognize it... until i added a PkgInfo
file to the Bundle.
