building the installer, not installing it. if you don't have developer
tools installed, i don't care if you can build an installer.

if you can modify an installer now, i have no mechanism to make it so you
can't later. (and clearly you can, and clearly i can't:-)
you're just untarring, adding something, mucking with postflight, and
closing it. if we call this from postflight, well, you're of course free
to remove it. but that's orthogonal to building an installer, since
obviously you just told us you aren't.
