Description

This is related to bug #16, but this feature may be of use even in installers where the developer does not offer the user a choice of where to install.

The idea is that we add a third type of domain, "relative", to the existing two domains supported by Install.

1. "Global": material installed for all users, hard-coded paths. 2. "User": material installed only for current user, path confined to home directory.

The third type of domain would allow targets to be specified relative to other some other item. That item could be determined by:

1. User choice (ie. a file dialog)

or

2. Searching for matching - bundle identifiers - creator codes - partial paths - type codes - version numbers - modification dates - creation dates

It should be possible to AND or OR these criteria together.

Implementing this feature will most likely have code in common with bug #17.

    Marking as ASSIGNED. Marking as dependent on bug #17, as that code will probably have to be written first.

    Changing assignment to reflect my new email address.
