Ha ha.  I agree.  8^)

It wasn't too tough before, and bundles make it easier and cleaner.
However, the hard part may still be walking through a directory to figure
out what you want to load (if you don't know in advance).

I didn't change the code to use bundles for obscure compatibility reasons,
but the change is pretty simple, both conceptually and code-wise.
