On this topic, when is Apple going to acknowledge that the installer 
should NOT destroy the LAYO resource in the finder? I only have one 
change (which fixes the ludicrous standard line spacing in the text 
views) so it's not much of a worry to me, but surely not obliterating 
this sort of customisation is one of the reasons the installer exists 
at all.
