(The rest of the world in general as well perhaps?) Is there any way to build

Perhaps stick the signature at the end of the binary and have the signing
routine check all but the area that holds the signature? (Not well thought
out, just an off the cuff idea.)
Nothing new is needed. Except maybe a more widespread awareness
that if the free software world is turned into the Far West it's
not going to last.
