Awesome!
I'm very glad to see people handling everything on their own like this.
Since bundles are really cross-platform and not really app dependent,  
it doesn't make much sense to keep them to intrinsically tied to a  
single app and make it so difficult to handle.

Allan has done a really good job of making bundle installation and  
updates really simple, just double click the bundle in the finder.

What I'd like to do with bundleforge eventually is make it all super  
simple to download the bundles and to keep them updated. I'll get to  
it eventually I'm sure. But I'm really glad you're doing this.
