Don discusses the MiscKit in terms of a library against which an
application can be linked. This kind of implies that MiscKit
objects are self-contained in some way; that they do not make use
of external files (e.g., nib files, tiff files).
How do classes which require or simply make use of such things get
incorporated into the Misc Kit? Should they be included in the
MiscKit? (a shame if it were that restrictive, I think) How are
the external files packaged with the Kit and made available to
developers conveniently to be incorporated?
One possibility: "self-contained" classes get added to the library,
classes that need outside files should be presented in the form of
a self-contained bundle (two possibilities here: the class code is
to be dynamically loaded from the bundle, or the bundle just contains
the auxiliary files needed and the class is in the library).
Thoughts anyone?
