OSGi handles the exploding and dll-Loading transparently for you. I'll
have to look up the Equinox code to see how they are handling it.

For OSGi I don't need this and e.g. in Eclipse I'm fine with a jar that
holds the OSGi meta info in it because this is all handled by PDE (would
need to take a look at BND-Tooling but it should handle this as well)
