We should just sign all the exes in the jre/bin directory.

SUGGESTED FIX

The change would go into make/sign/Makefile.  It should look something like this:

FULL_SIGNER_CMD=$(FULL_SIGNER) -n "Deployment Toolkit" -i http://java.com/

sign::
ifeq ($(SIGN_FLAG),1)
       @# sign plugin dlls
       $(FULL_SIGNER_CMD) $(ABS_OUTPUTDIR)/bin/deploytk.dll
       $(FULL_SIGNER_CMD) $(ABS_OUTPUTDIR)/bin/npdeploytk.dll
       $(FULL_SIGNER_CMD) $(ABS_OUTPUTDIR)/bin/ssv.dll
       $(FULL_SIGNER_CMD) $(ABS_OUTPUTDIR)/bin/npjpi$(JRE_NODOTVERSION).dll
       @# now sign all exe's
       @for i in `$(CD) $(ABS_OUTPUTDIR)/bin ; $(LS) *exe` ; do \
           $(FULL_SIGNER_CMD) $(ABS_OUTPUTDIR)/bin/"$$i" ;\
       done
endif
