This brings up a really sticky question that I've been troubled by recently.   
How in the world do you put an object that you use a lot in two IB Palettes, WM  
Inspectors, Preferences modules, or whatever?  If you link against it in both  
bundles, one will cause rld() to choke at load time, so you cannot use both  
bundles at the same time.  I've got a pretty good library to objects that I  
don't feel like renaming each time they get put into a bundle that *may* have a  
conflict somewhere down the line.
