Notes on the libraries:
libChipmunk.dylib - Needed by Unity Free editor on Mac- free loads libraries differently than Unity Pro.
Chipmunk.bundle - Needed by Unity Pro editor for Mac. Also used for Mac desktop builds.
chipmunk.dll - Needed by Unity Pro and Free editor in Windows. Also used for Windows builds
libChipmunk.a - Needed for iOS builds. Unity only looks inside /Assets/Plugins/iOS for this file.
