I posted on a related issue a couple weeks ago (w/ no response), albeit my
issue seems to be a more dummed-down version of yours...

Subject: .bundles -- what are the rules?
Date: 6/8/05

I'm having trouble understanding what the right/correct way to build bundles
so that they in fact show up as a bundle in 10.4, .3, etc...

On my 10.4 machine, if I open Xcode 2.1, make a new Carbon .bundle
project, build it, drag the resulting .bundle to my OS 10.3 machine, and
poof--it doesn't even display as a bundle in 10.3, just a document icon that
I can explore (like I can with a package, etc).
// SNIP

My goal is to have a bundle just like you may want on MS Windows--a dynamic
library around for private use.  All I want in Mac OS is for it to show up
as a generic bundle.  Problem is, I don't know why it's showing up weird in
Mac OS 10.3 and 10.2 improperly.

Thought I'd chime in...
