PS: Don't get me wrong.  I *want* to sign my code.  I spent good
money on a code signing certificate and I was hoping to be able
to use it.  But the problems greatly outweigh the benefits so I
have given up on the idea.  What would make me reconsider is:

1.  A message that says 'this app is signed by xyz' when the
user launches my installer.

2.  When a file is added to a sealed Resources folder, it does
not break the code signature.

Of course (1) requires (in my case) a change to Package Maker
and it would also be necessary, really, to be able to sign a DMG
so that, when Safari downloads it, it can tell the user who
created it.

I could chase around the mailing lists fighting this cause but,
frankly, I do not have the motivation.  The problem cuts across
a number of areas and needs to be properly reviewed inside
Apple.  But by all means pass this message on to whoever might
find it useful, Chris.
