Sometimes you need more control over the contents of a bundle than
DragNDrop provides. For example, you might have a single bundle
containing a "main", graphical UI application plus secondary helper
applications that run in the background. BundleGenerator gives you
flexibility to create such a bundle, whereas DragNDrop would create a
dmg with several bundles, one-per-app. Of course, the cost is greater
complexity.
Cheers,
Tim
