Re: XCode template for lua modules

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

The recommendation was that "bundle" is when dylibs are loaded  
software-wise (as in Lua) and "dylib" when they are loaded as part of  
the linkage.

Not sure if this matters any more. I have the understanding it was  
more important at earlier stages of OS X.  But I may be wrong.

This has been discussed earlier, but I'm too lazy to find out the  
right one.  Check here:
