good start -- could you run that test script? you pass in a *.jpg on the 
command line, and it makes a copy with a watermark printed on it. That 
tests the jpeg driver and the freetype implementation.

Can you just dump additional packages into Contents/Packages ? Or dump 
the mpkg into your Metapackage, or dump the two *.pkg files into your 
Metapackage?

I have no clue. Others on this list should know.

That's 10.4, right? I'm OK with that -- do your Frameworks support 10.3 
anyway?
