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.
