postflight script and manual install questions

Hi All!

I'm trying to build a package using packagemaker from Xcode 3.0 on Leopard for 10.3 and above. Actually, the application itself is CLI one, so there is a applescript opening the terminal window so the user can simply type "./application_name" to launch it.

My questions are:

1)is there any way to launch the script just after the installation is finished and a user pressed "Close" button? Now I execute osascript <applescript name> from postflight script but in this case the terminal window is opening *before* the user closes Installer window.

2)The application is rather simple one and consists of just single directory which has to be placed in the particular place during the installation process. Because of that I'm considering using manual installation process instead of managed install. All I need to do is to create the application bundle (.app directory) and put it in a container (a disk image), right? My question is how to create the application bundle? Is there any CLI tool to perform this task? 

Sorry for stupid newbe question..Any references to documentation/guides/howto are highly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
