How does one set a file's bundle bit in a post-ResEdit world?
I just did a quick Google search and could only find references to
using a system API call. If you were going to use an external you can
use FSSetCatalogInfo and set the kHasBundle flag for the folder. I
imagine someone could base an external off of the code in this posting:

PathFinder allows you to set the bit in the property dialog for the
folder. Maybe someone can find an AppleScript or command line utility
that can set the bit as well.
I just read something interesting that said even if you do register
certain extensions as packages for your application it is still good
to set the bundle bit. This causes the package to show up as a package
on systems that don't have your application installed.
