Umm... There was a really good article about this going around a while back.
Fairly interesting, it covered all the hacks they went through to combine
the two systems.
Bundles are an extension to the original fork/stream idea with Mac files,
allowing pretty much entire packages of software to operate as one "file".
Some of it was nifty, some just dirty hackery. Definitely linked from
Slashdot, so have a search on there. :)
Oh, and the Mac association system is a lot more flexible than people give
it credit for (and could be hacked over to support mime, etc).
