Our use case involves FileInstall for starting Bundles in a directory.

When runned within Felix, we end up with a RESOLVED lazy bundle triggered
to load a class but not activating the lazy Bundle.

When runned within Equinox (with the same FileInstall and same directory of
Bundles), all our lazy Bundles are happily started.

So I assume that RESOLVED lazy bundles in Equinox are being started
automatically.
(I assumed that the same FileInstall with the same directory content would
produce the same set of install/start actions).
