Now I could create a contentType extension that lists all of these files as cxxHeaders. However, if the user creates a binary with the same name, the BinaryRunner will skip over them because it         thinks it's a header file.

And if you could add an option to NOT follow symlinks when looking for binaries that would be great. My scenario is like this. I use CMake to bundle my application. If I choose to try and make a .dmg then during the process of creating the disk image a symlink to /Applications is made in my "Build" directory. Then the "searching for binaries" will basically never end because it ends up searching /Applications also. Just an annoyance at this point. I just have to remember to remove the symlink after each packaging sequence.
