Like someone mentioned previously, my Cocoa app, Pacifist
(
http://www.charlessoft.com/), can open .pkg packages and extract files
out of them, and it works around a few bugs that exist in command-line
pax that prevent it from functioning properly in some cases (try
extracting /usr/sbin/chown from the 10.1 installer using command-line
pax, and you'll see what I mean). It also offers features that the
command-line utility doesn't include, such as the ability to
reconstitute resource forks and metadata on HFS disks (useful for
reinstalling Acrobat Reader or iTunes in 10.1), and is in my opinion
much more convenient than command line pax.
Sorry for the shameless plug,
Charles

i would like to be able to sneak in the OS X installer to check for

uncompressed the essentials.pax.gz.
But Stuffit doesn't seem to like .pax and can't decompress it, Maybe
it's not compressed at all. What do you think?
I think you should forget the Stuffit thing and use commandline pax. It
always worked for me, whenever I needed anything of packages.
