  NGBundleManager

  NGBundleManager is a class similar to a Java class loader. It searches
  for dynamically loadable bundles in a specified path set.

  The default bundle search path is:

    1. bundles contained in the main-bundle
    2. pathes specified by the 'NGBundlePath' user default
    3. pathes specified by the 'NGBundlePath' environment variable

  Bundles managed by NGBundleManager can specify load-requirements, this
  is done via the 'bundle-info.plist' file contained at the root of the
  bundle directory. The file is a property list file and can specify required
  and provided classes.
  
  Example bundle-info.plist:
    {
      bundleHandler = "MyBundleManager";
      
      provides = {
        classes = ( { name = MyClass; } );
      };
      requires = {
        bundleManagerVersion = 1;
        bundles = ( { name = Foundation; type = framework; } );
        classes = ( { name = NSObject; exact-version = 1; } );
      };
    }
