Thanks for the advice.
What I have seen on the web seemed to indicate that bundles are a 
really good way of splitting up code development etc.
I like keeping code compartamentalised and bundles looked like a good 
way to do it.
But I also have the memory of someone else being advised on this list 
to keep away from bundles.
That plus the hastle of working with what to me looks  like out of 
date documentation....
I think you have made my mind up for me.
Thanks.
