Details

On mac and Windows we have multiple installers. It's important to make sure that these get users into the same state to make sure that the build works correctly, and also that partial updates will apply correctly. At the moment we have no verification that, eg: a mac DMG contains the same data as a mac PKG. Similar for Windows and the NSIS installer vs. MSI. We should verify these things.

One way to implement this could be to verify updated builds against all installer types in update verify - but ultimately we consider a particular installer (the NSIS one on Windows, the DMG on mac) as the "golden" copy - so it's probably preferable to compare other installers against that instead.
