Usually, these "normal" OS X apps are Cocoa apps.  If it has a nifty- 
keen GUI on it, odds are good that it's a Cocoa app and is thus  
packaged as a .app.  But otherwise, odds are good that it's a regular  
UNIX utility and will be packaged like a regular UNIX utility.

For instance, the Apple Developer Tools are packaged both like .apps  
and like regular UNIX utilities.  XCode is a Cocoa apps, and as such,  
it's packaged as a .app.  But Apple's C compiler is a regular UNIX  
utility, and as such, it's packaged as /usr/bin/gcc.
