There's another answer also.
Many command line tools are basically like bundles even if they don't have the bundle bit set.
This means they are in a folder with various resources together.
When installed there is a symlink at the location returned by the which command. The symlink is what gets added to you PATH and the symlink links to the actual executable.

Are (Foundation) tools created by Xcode flat files, like traditional Unix tools? Or are they bundles? If flat files, can they be made into bundles with some project tweaks?
