Rename choice_installer_n

[gniemetz]

Hello!

It would be nice to have the possibility to rename the choice id, i.e. from

    <!--+==========================+
        |         Installer        |
        +==========================+-->
    <choices-outline>
        <line choice="installer_choice_1"/>
        <line choice="installer_choice_2"/>
    </choices-outline>
    <choice id="installer_choice_1" start_enabled="false" start_selected="true" title="main package" description="">
        <pkg-ref id="com.pkg.required"/>
    </choice>
    <choice id="installer_choice_2" start_selected="false" title="optional package" description="">
        <pkg-ref id="com.pkg.optional"/>
    </choice>

to

    <!--+==========================+
        |         Installer        |
        +==========================+-->
    <choices-outline>
        <line choice="main"/>
        <line choice="optional"/>
    </choices-outline>
    <choice id="main" start_enabled="false" start_selected="true" title="main package" description="">
        <pkg-ref id="com.pkg.required_part"/>
    </choice>
    <choice id="optional" start_selected="false" title="optional package" description="">
        <pkg-ref id="com.pkg.optional_part"/>
    </choice>

Noted.

Would "installer_main" be OK if you set the choice id to "main"?

It'll be great if it is free choosable. I'll give you an example what the choices in munki are

installer -showChoiceChangesXML -target / -pkg munkitools-3.5.1.3622.pkg
