I am installing an iTunes plug-in (a ".bundle" file) using Iceberg

suspect the OS is not registering it as a bundle.
-- When iTunes fails to load the plugin, I have them locate the
bundle file and dub-click it to test whether it is a bundle or a
folder. Once the user manages to make the OS "bundle-ify" the file,
iTunes will load the plugin.
I have seen two on-topic suggestions for this:
1. Be sure the PkgInfo is inside the bundle. I am sure it is inside
the bundle's contents folder.
--x.bundle/
\--Contents/
\-- Info.plist
\-- PkgInfo
\-- Resources/
\-- MacOS/
2. Have the user run "SetFile -a B"
-- Is the SetFile command included on all 10.3+ machines?
-- -- I could add the SetFile in the postflight script probably.
Is there some other way to make sure that the Bundle Bit is set when
installing a ".bundle" ?
Well, the bundle bit is not necessary for the OS to treat a folder as
a bundle. It's just one of many ways the OS will decide the folder is
a bundle.
Unfortunately, I don't know why your bundle isn't being recognized as
one. If setting the bundle bit is the only way your bundle gets
detected, then something is incorrect about your bundle structure,
because the bit should not be necessary.
