No, wait! I just discovered that if I manually edit the "Info.plist" file in
the "xxx.pkg" bundle, and remove the "IFRequirementDicts" key/value pair, my
Check tools are run. This seems wrong. Even if the Requirements are used
instead of the InstallationCheck tool, I would still expect the "VolumeCheck"
tool to be executed, because there are no volume-specific Requirements.

Available prior to Mac OS X v10.3. Scripts will work in v10.3, but are
ignored if the package also includes requirements information in its
property list.
Basically, in 10.3 and later, if you have any sort of requirements plist
info, the InstallationCheck and VolumeCheck scripts/executables no longer
are run. They are mearly there for pre-10.3 support at this point, or
instead of the requirements system.
