Sorry, it took me several days, I was very busy.
I'm trying to change Talskoup to load its stuff from "Resources" instead 
of, as said, installed Application Support. That would ease the 
installation process (= the currentmake has problems for packages) and 
those bundles wouldn't be used by any applications anyway. Except 
netclasses.

I did:

grid$ ls TalkSoup.app/Resources/
Defaults.plist            Input                     TalkSoup.tiff
GNUstepOutput.bundle      TalkSoup.desktop
Info-gnustep.plist        TalkSoup.icns

and get the failure:
2013-10-17 01:58:35.501 TalkSoup[3360] Could not load 'GNUstepOutput' 
from '()'


The relevant code looks like in TalkSoup.m line 95:

    bundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath: dir];
    if (!bundle)
    {
        NSLog(@"Could not load '%@' from '%@'", name, dir);
        return nil;
    }

You have a slighlty different code, you use the main bundle, it appears. 
But if you look at the class, it has several checks, perhaps it can be 
extended.


I sought a "general" way, where the bundle could be loaded form one or 
the other place!
