I have come up with some suggestions for Compile, which I need feedback if  
I should implement
1) Compile should be configured for "no-sign" by default
Most users don't want to create packages for redistribution, so they  
probably don't want to sign their compiled programs. This suggestion is to  
create a setting in Compile.conf that turns of signing by default.
2) Support for unmanaged in SymlinkProgram and Remove/DisableProgram
I can see Unmanaged as a way to install files into directories where we  
have no symlinks or install files thta cannot be symlinks. Therefore I  
also see that removing the files could be a good thing, so my suggestion  
is iplementing this into Disable/RemoveProgram. For this to work  
installation of Unmanaged files must be moved into SymlinkProgram, so that  
one could install the files from outside of Compile, instead of having it  
as a separate function in Compile.
