But right.  All libraries ARE inside of vcomponents folder.

ADK == plugin + vcomponents

All ADKs  (V4MD/V4RB/...) have the same vcomponents

May be yes -- than more that we drop into APP not vcomponents itself for
WIN, PPC, Linux but its items.

ATTN: on Windows its not possible create ready for use MAC app, because we
need yet install_name utility to correct DYLIBs paths

This is different things.

PPC libraries required for OLD - CARBON - MAC versions of V4RB and V4Md.

Only these two products yet have this builds.
And I dream to drop them asap.

I assume most probably nobody use them already.
Just I still make them and often this cause only extra problems.
