IFPkgFlagInstallFat is ignored in 10.4 and later due to our move to
Universal binaries. We don't want developers to install thin
binaries if they have a universal binary.

According to http://developer.apple.com/documentation/
DeveloperTools/Conceptual/SoftwareDistribution/Concepts/
sd_pkg_flags.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001940:
-------8<-------------8<------------8<------------8<---------
IFPkgFlagInstallFat
optional
data type: BOOL
default value: No
example: Yes
If the binary contains code for multiple platforms, should
Installer install all of them? (If not, Installer strips out all
but the code necessary for the current platform.)
Important: If you are installing .o or .a files as part of your
package, they will be thinned along with any other binaries. To
prevent this outcome, set the value for this key to Yes.
-------8<-------------8<------------8<------------8<---------
How does it come that when IFPkgFlagInstallFat is set to false, a
Package installs both the PPC and i386 architecture of universal
binaries on a PowerPC PowerMac.
I saw that this flag is not supported in PackageMaker (XCode 2.2).
