OS X Externals

[Thierry Arbellot]

OK

If you don't want to copy the bundle every-time you rebuild it, use the 
full path to the folder where XCode build the bundle.
And each time you rebuild the bundle, you should close the stack, 
remove it from memory then reopen it.

Another thing to check: have you add the 2 functions in the Xtable 
array declared in the external.c source file ?
