Hi Marc, your help would be much appreciated.

Here's my proposal for which extensions should go where for new files that 
are being added to the packing lists:

PFRAG.native    a
PFRAG.native    cmx
PFRAG.native    cmxa
PFRAG.native    cmxs
PFRAG.native    native
PFRAG.native    o
PFRAG.native    opt

PLIST   byte
PLIST   cma
PLIST   cmi
PLIST   cmo
PLIST   cmt
PLIST   cmti
PLIST   ml
PLIST   mli
