I'm slightly irritated that the install framework that you > use doesn't have prepackaged functions for this task. Thanks, I'll look it up.

If you now consider that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
