Exactly!
This is the biggest advantage. Right now, using PackageMaker we need write
scripts of some kind to build that hierarchy. ICEberg just remove this step.
With ICEberg we become more close to Innosetup - the Windows installer
maker.
Only my wish now is that PackageMaker/ICEberg was able to use not ZIP but
RAR compression like do Innosetup.
Our Windows archives are 2 times less comparing to MAC archives. :-(
If they have the same original size.
Taking into account Universal Builder, we have now picture on FTP as:
archive MAC 20MB
archive WIN 5MB
This not make happy MAC OS users
