Considering that multiple users can use a given mac, I don't see how you can assume the only person who will need those files in their home directory is the person installing the package. You could do something like make a wrapper script that checks for the stuff in home and then calls the real version of the program, if you really want it to be seamless. -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.
