If we added more knowledge specifically about kext bundle layouts, we could restrict which files we test to see if they are valid binaries - but we'd need to parse the Info.plist at the top (to get the CFBundleExecutable name, and look for variations on that prefix) and we'd need to handle shallow/deep kext bundles.  Given how few files are in kext bundles besides the kexts themselves (a couple of plists), this is code is much simpler than encoding all that extra specifics about kexts.


Thanks Jason!

Currently there are no kext  test currently. Jason and I had a brief discussion yesterday on how we could do this in the future, but while it is certainly possible (and something I want to do) it's going to be too much work for this small change. Unless anyone has a practical idea for a test I'm going to land this as is, awaiting the aforementioned kext test infrastructure.
