BTW, can you explain to me what's bundle and why kind of support for them 
you'd like. From what I can find at developer.apple.com, it's specific 
directory structure which is considered as single application (with resources 
and the like). OTOH, bundle support in V1 does not look like that. I 
certainly miss something.

This implicitly creates a top-level rule called 'janfile', which will try to 
create 'JANFILE' type from any sources you pass.

I'd suggest changing this to 

type.register JAN : jan ;

You'll immediately get top-level rule called 'JAN'. If this is not OK for some 
reason, try this:

IMPORT : janfile : : jan ;

This will redeclare global 'janfile' rule with the 'jan' name.
