Currently we install wine staging into /opt/wine-staging which seems to
work. I would prefer to install the new packages into the home
directory, so that also users without admin rights can install the
package. The only problem are the dependencies since they usually do not
use relative rpaths and they might contain the prefix embedded in the
executables. Not sure if this is a problem, I need to test this.

It is indeed difficult to sign executables without using any proprietary
tools by Apple, but it seems like I found one which works. "codesign -vd
wine" seems to like my signature, except that the tool slightly messed
up the timestamp of the signature which now lies before the creation
date of my self signed certificate. I am sure this can be fixed though
;-). Signing the whole package is most probably a bit more difficult
than just signing one executable, but I am sure this is doable.

I guess it is necessary to pay 99$/year for the developer program to get
your key signed, right?
