Hmm, I thought about this problem in the back of my head...have you 
tried (or considered) using a pseudo-Builder? One could perhaps compile 
the "Bundle" (a sort of self-contained folder, as I understood it) in a 
two-stage process: building the required files first, and then using the 
Install() command to put them into the final bundle folder, or its 
subdirectories.
Just as an idea...
