That method should work, but it would have to be run on every machine
(manually) before it can be used by wpkg.  This isn't acceptable for
more than a few machines.  It seems as though the only way to
accomplish this is to use one of the third party runas type programs
that produce an encrypted executable.  I'm not sure how secure those
are though.
