The plug-in converter will build a .rbx plug-in from a directory tree. No
need to convert the DLL. You just have to copy it to the correct folder.
This plug-in will work on Mac and Windows. .rbx plug-ins are actually
virtual volumes. You can use a virtual volume browsers to inspect someone
else plug-in to see the structure.
If you want an old style resource file based plug-in (Only works on the Mac)
then you need to use some kind of tool that will convert the DLL into a
resource so you can merge it with your other plug-in parts.
