+
+my guess is that the publickey, or depending on the assembly the 
+publickeytoken, should be loaded at this step to the class library 
+can then use it.
+
+Note: We'll (eventually) need to check the signature (using this 
+public key) and throw an exception if the signature can't be 
+validated. Most of the code for doing so is in the class library. 
+Where should the validation/exception be thrown ? the managed class 
+library or the unmanaged runtime ?
