Right, that actually makes sense.  Otherwise, a trojan could modify a host app and just remove the signature.

Nightly builds would be your best bet, or making your own binaries.
We can see to it that Info.plist gets excluded from the signature if there are important use cases.

For now, I'd say, please submit your patches and we'll merge them into the mainline.
