Well, as far as Macintosh goes; a standalone built "just like that" 
(i.e. no post-build mods, signatures, mucking around with the
version number, etc.) works "just like that". I would suppose the only 
advantage of having a signature is if you want to link text files,
or somesuch, explicitly to it; i.e. so double-clicking on one of those 
documents would launch your standalone.
