Thank you for your reply.  Although not all .app bundles are Cocoa  
apps, Eclipse is a good example.

How difficult would be it be to package this application as a .app  
bundle instead of all over the filesystem like the typical Unix  
application (which makes installing/uninstalling/upgrading a pita)?

Thanks!
