All of this is a bit vague to me, this seems more tri-state than just a
boolean, most Windows will warn when trying to install unsigned-by-MS
drivers but will let you go through after saying you are ok with installing
this driver. Starting with win7 64 bit, the OS will refuse to install the
drivers without letting you click your way around it.
This commit seems to assume that 'having to click' = 'cannot post install
the driver'. While inconvenient during post-install, I can see this being
better than nothing to some libosinfo users.
