That's the question. Everybody guesses that this is so, but nobody has
authoritatively said so. Even an authoritative assertion could be wrong due
to bugs. Testing cannot provide a definitive answer because I might overlook
a method that does find and launch it inside the "setup" bundle.
Anyway, I have since investigated using NSTask to compress and uncompress
the "master" app, and it seems real easy to do. I am comfortable that
compression will prevent execution, and it has the added benefit of making
the "setup" app smaller.
