If you choose this method, you will want to make sure that the System 
Preferences application is closed before you try to install your new 
pane (or restart it after you've installed). If the user has used / 
loaded the preference pane during an upgrade, the behavior of the pane 
after install is unpredictable, presumably because it is not possible 
to unload Objective-C code.
