mach_* 1.1

Highlights:

• New package added: mach_inject_bundle. It has a private subproject: mach_inject_bundle_stub. The stub is a generic reusable implementation of the code that gets squirted across the address spaces, which was always tricky to write. mach_inject_bundle is an embeddable framework that wraps mach_inject and the stub with a simple fire-and-forget API.
• The 'DisposeWindowBeeperOverride' example is replaced by the 10.4-happy 'DisposeWindow+Beep'.
• The 'FinderDisposeWindowBeeperInjector' is replaced by 10.4-happy 'DisposeWindow+Beep_Injector'.

You can see exactly what changed here. Basically, mach_inject and mach_override were 10.4-happy but the example broke. SysBeep() apparently requires a full-blown pthread context under 10.4.

Thanks to Jon Gotow for letting me peek at his SCPatch, which I used as a guide for mach_inject_bundle. It saved me a bunch of time. Also thanks to Bob Ippolito for the CALL_ON_LOAD assistance.
