Yeah, I built it today. Worked pretty easily. The CodeWarrior docs 
should probably be updated to point to the new site.

Right, I shouldn't have said linking. Sorry about that. I wonder if 
it would be easier to just write a small shim which does the bundle 
loading, and include that. It's really not hard, and it would make 
one less step that new developers have to go through. If others are 
interested in that, let me know and I'll put one together.

Well feel free to give it a shot. It's not something I'm going to get 
to in the next week. If you don't get to it, I'll look at it in a 
week or two.

Thanks,
