Sorry, your original message was lost in my inbox.

I forgot the difference between a bundle in a dylib, I think you can  
find more on the man pages. IIRC bundles were supposed to be  
unloadable but this feature got removed later.

In any case, MacRuby uses the dynamic linker to load shared libraries  
at runtime, and this works with both.

# FYI, we compile C extensions with -bundle, but this is mostly  
historical.
