For CFPlugIn and AudioUnit developers - how to check Mac App Store sandbox capabilities at runtime.

If you write system components (i.e. CoreAudio AudioUnit), CFPlugIn bundles or loadable Cocoa frameworks which are shared among applications (like haxies), you may wish to detect the capabilities of the sandbox environment into which you've been loaded so you can gracefully disable features and so forth.

Naive implementations of such loadable code often dump huge volumes of system messages into the Console.log - not useful to anyone.
