Actually, bundles are often packages, and vice versa, but you can be
either without the other.
A file package is a directory that is presented as a single file to
the user, while a bundle is a directory with a particular layout. For
example, frameworks are bundles, but not packages. If you navigate to
a .framework file in Finder, you will see that it looks like a
folder. Likewise, you can take any directory and set the package bit,
and it becomes a package.
The usual way is to just try loading the URL as a bundle, and see if
you succeed. You could also define a particular extension for your
plugin type, and look for files of that extension, with the assistance
of CFBundleCreateBundlesFromDirectory.
