Anyone know where I could get some info on how to make a menu-bar widget? (Such as iChat's, volume, etc). Thanks.

The officially-sanctioned route is with the NSStatusItem class. (At least that's the Cocoa way. I don't know if there's a Carbon equivalent.)
If you want one like the volume control--independent of any applications and you can drag it around--you'll have to use the private SystemUIServer APIs and your users will have to use Unsanity's Menu Exra Enabler. As far as I know, this requires Cocoa too--specifically Objective-C.

MenuExtras are what you're looking for, I think. Check out ASM's code.

Eugh. Not only is the ASM source a horrible mess, the way they've done it - subclassing and reimplementing everything under the sun - is a totally unnecessary and confusing way of creating a menu extra. The only useful thing in there is SystemUIServer.h, which you could get yourself with class-dump, but with the lack of any other starting points it might just be the only option...

Question: Where do you find class-dump? I see objdump, but I do not see any class-dump command.
