In general terms, how is that process accomplished?

It’s possible I’ve misunderstood, so this might be off the mark. There are other bundles such as those created by installers and Xcode ( for use with MAS ). Not sure if that was your question.
FBtoC uses unix commands ( via a unix pipe ) to create the directory structure. mkdir ( for make directory ) and touch are two commands used. OS X automatically treats a top-level directory with the .app extension as an application bundle and makes its subordinate directories invisible. I can send you FBtoC source if you want to look. FBtoC’s build process is reading the source files, translating them to C and then passing appropriate paths and C source ( after doing a lot of integrity checking and appropriate permissions assignment in some cases ) to the compiler for output to the directory structure provided. This is a general description. A read of the source would provide details. 
Since I’m not sure if my post addresses Steve’s question, I’ll wait for a response.
