I take it back. If timeing is an issue here, this solution doesn't
work.
A full cache update would still be missed if the file is renamed and
the
folder touched during the cache update.
A staging area would be best. One change; everything in the folder is
always correct.
I guess we may have to rely on /tmp. :-(

Reading all this makes me wonder whether providing an "installkext"
command
as part of the system could be handy. This way we know that the kext is
getting installed in the right manner and right location. Since in the
short
term this isn't available, the install script could check to see if the
system provides the command and if it doesn't reverts back to a copy
provided with the installer.
The idea of usage would:
installkext <path>
and it would take care of the staging, permissions and installation.
