Thank you very much for the example, Stéphane. It's definitely helpful.
One thing I noticed with the "TestPlugin.pkg" is that because it has the
additional plug-in present, you get a warning when you double-click
the package that says "This package contains a program that determines
if the software can be installed. Are you sure you want to continue?"
I've seen then when you include an InstallationCheck or VolumeCheck
script, but I was surprised to see the warning just because a plugin
was present. Is there any way to avoid that extra warning or is it
just another alert users will have to deal with?
