1) for CARBON shared libs they MUST BE in the CFMSupport


2) in Rev we use MACHO libs.

all our MACHO dlls compiled with special option

        @executable_path = ../../VComponents

This is made because Vstudio and Vserver apps made as Packages.
So VComponents folder go inside of application.
 
And when macho DLL have such option, it cannot be located in other places.

Bundle yes can be located anywhere.

We was going

    Revolution
        V4REV_2
            Examples
            V4REV_macho_bundle

I think not big difference to your suggestions.
