Best approach to adding a Spotlight importer

I've got a document-creating application, and want to have its documents indexable. I think the easiest approach will be to share the document-reading code with the Spotlight importer.

But I'm less clear on how to set this up with Xcode. Do I add a target to my existing project? Presumably a loadable bundle?

One issue I see is that both the app and the .mdimporter have an Info.plist, so they're not going to be able to coexist in the same folder.

On the other hand, I guess I want to distribute the .mdimporter inside the application bundle, like OmniOutliner.

I guess everything's in CVS so I could experiment, but perhaps someone's had the same issue and solved it.
