Just to have the checking done automatically, *before* people install  
and find out that it's borked and need to redownload. I know i don't  
go and checksum every package i download manually, even if the option  
to do so is there. And i don't think i'm alone in that one..

Pretty sure the command to create the dmg is "hdiutil create - 
srcfolder "$folderWithPackage" "$locationToPutDMGIn"" .. so adding it  
to the end of a build script shouldn't be too much trouble.
