The problem is that in many cases (at least in my own usage), the script is basically running a compiled executable so there's no guarantee that would succeed either.

My typical embedded command is something like "sh setup.sh" so that it works regardless of the filesystem status (I would often ship installers on CDROM, which would have the `noexec`...

I'm not sure it's really the place of Makeself to pass along signals to subprocesses... We might just want to kill the extraction process with a TERM signal.

Not exactly, however there is a way to append an existing archive (it could be a minimal one) using the `--append` flag.

Yeah, however the append option doesn't allow you to specify an actual archive, the files also come from the directory you specify. But this would allow you to break up...

Handling `.gitattributes` directly seems out of the scope of this project, if only because it's not the only kind of SCM files it would have to handle, and I don't...

If you're asking whether the embedded script can be passed arguments, that is already possible.

That is unfortunate but unfortunately that `--apparent-size` option is very much non-standard...

I would rather have a way to determine if this option is available and use it when appropriate.

I don't really use Windows at all, but if you submit a pull request to address any issues I'd be glad to take a closer look.
