Except that the API that Apple provides does *not* allow to install software in managed fashion.
Microsoft's MSI API, on the other hand, does allow exactly that.
Besides, as I have mentioned multiple times, I do not want to circumvent any install mechanisms
provided by the operating system, I want to use them. That's the whole point of using an API.
If I wanted to workaround Apple's API, I wouldn't use .pkg files.
