BridgeSupport also supplies .dylibs containing inline functions/macros that don't have symbols/linkage in the main framework.

While it is possible to workaround the lack of BridgeSupport, if Apple doesn't supply it, most developers are not going to go through the effort of using it. And if Apple doesn't supply it on iOS, they aren't going to make life nice for developers doing this (continue bans on dynamic libraries for loading the .dylib containing missing symbols, on mprotect which is horribly useful for things like subclassing and block generation and JIT).

I don't know where the source went. I'm sad to hear that. If you find a copy, let me know.

You may be in luck, sir or ma'am. It looks like the one man army behind Mobiruby found a copy;

https://github.com/mobiruby/BridgeSupport

Which he found from a really neat looking archive for popular open source projects, at that. Bookmarking.

http://code.metager.de/source/

Just made a few fixes to get the BridgeSupport framework to compile on 10.8. Might issue a pull request.
