This is run for you before pre-install and after post-install; the actual
flow is:

    pre-install-script ["work/.INSTALL PRE-INSTALL" is run here]
    pre-install
    do-install
    post-install
    [create PLIST]
    post-install-script ["work/.INSTALL POST-INSTALL" is run here]

This way it basically follows the flow that will be used by a pkg_add;
PRE-INSTALL happens before files are installed, and POST-INSTALL afterwards.

Do you have an actual need to run the script outside of the normal flow
logic?
