I can talk about the imageio-ext stuff for sure, but the plugins about
jai are Jesse's bundle for Macosx. I try to explain, in case he can
correct me.
Those plugins are used to install jai (or imageio? one of the two
comes with the jre I guess) on Macosx. On startup they install those
libs if they are not already present on the system. Those are easy to
install since there is no native lib compiled in that case.

The imageio-ext stuff is a different thing. I guess Jesse put the
native libs I gave him into the install folder and set the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to that folder.

Ciao
Andrea
