Yes, there is just one instance, it's a daemon launched from Library/
LaunchDaemons. In fact, it's even launched as root before anybody has
a chance to log in.
But for the daemon, exists a particular user, it's the one (or the
last one) that installed it, and it's this specific user that it wants
to inform.

I suspect that, (if setuid with the user ID), I could launch an
AppleScript on his behalf, and send Growl notifications, but it seems
a little bit like a roundabout way
