Hi Everyone,
There was some discussion a while ago about moving CoreBase into -base, but I
don't recall any final decision. I'm currently looking at implementing
CFBundle. Doing this in a separate framework is pretty easy if you don't need
to support any platforms where dlfcn.h doesn't exist[1], but ideally it should
use the same abstraction layer that NSBundle uses. It can't be implemented in
terms of NSBundle, however, since it is a lower level class. Ideally, either
NSBundle should be refactored to use CFBundle, or they should both share some
common code - at the very least, CFBundle should probably use the library
loading abstraction code in -base, which is not currently possible.

[1] Do we anymore? I think MinGW provides wrappers around these now, and the
only other implementations we have seem to be for ancient platforms that
probably no longer work anyway.
