Unfortunately there is no practical way to support access to CODE
resources from Mach-O executables (the Mach-O to CFM bridge only works
one direction), so you will have to recompile your externals.  And the
new dynamic loading stuff isn't finished yet, so you'll also have to
wait a bit longer.  The new external system will work more like it
does on Win32, where the externals are specified by name in a stack
property rather than loading automatically from the resource fork of a
stack like it does on MacOS.
