Summary: Unloading extension modules not always safe

Initial Comment:
I will look into the solution for this, but the "for now" 
solution would be to never try and unlink bundles because 
they may contain ObjC code.  For several reasons, ObjC 
classes can never be unloaded, so bundles containing ObjC 
code can also never be unloaded.  This is more than a 
problem for just PyObjC, because any arbitrary module may 
contain some ObjC code.  We need to detect this before 
running NSUnlinkModule.  I'll try and put together a patch 
sometime soon if nobody else does, but for now see: http://
