How can I get my installer plugin to run with the same admin
permissions as my installer runs with?
You can't. Plug-ins work as part of the Installer.app application,
which always runs with the privileges of the user who started it.
Privileged parts of the application are done by helper tools or the
scripts you supply, which are sub-launched from Installer.app.
For most purposes, it's enough for the plugin to write what it has
learned into /tmp, for one of the scripts to act on.
