[Mono-osx] Obj-C#, Cocoa# and bundles.

[Sijmen Mulder]

Thanks for answering. (Great quote line by the way.)

It's pretty clear. Just two more things. First, are there any samples  
on using ObjC#? Secondly, I'm still wondering about the app wrapping,  
whether it's possible to include all the mono-related dependencies  
inside an app bundle. To me that doesn't seem very app-specific.
