Bundles don't work on OXS (to be clear, GNUstep bundles don't work). 
I've been thinking about fixing that, but I haven't got to it yet, so 
feel free to look at it if you want :-) It's odd because the bundle 
loads properly, but the classes aren't integrated into the runtime and 
there doesn't appear to be any method for getting the class 
constructors to do it.
