Sorry, that is currently well beyond my ability. Physics is something I picked up maintainer ship of, though I do understand there is a Box 2D binary blob in there (source code available else where, in a svn rep I think last time I looked), Elements is all python source I believe. The whole packaging game at the system level is a pretty alien concept to me. FWIW I'm a developer on the Mac platform, bundles there are all self contained built against the last few OS X releases (good for 5-10 year support), kind'a why the .xo makes such sense to me.
