16 not sure i am either. some applications support the unix install, and
17 some support a bundle install, some support both ? so how can we support
18 each of those installs ?
19

21 all the dependency libs packaged too ?
22
23 if prefix were to make the bundle app in ${EPREFIX}/Applications would
24 that be symlinks to ${EPREFIX}/path/to/file ?
