Password Protect Sequence Files on Deployment

I need to password protect (not viewable) my sequence files for a deployment (many sequence files will be included).  I would rather not do this file by file for the deployment (files are in a version control system, and need to be updated regulary, so, having individual developers set passwords to individual sequence files to build is tedious at best).  Is there a slick way of doing this so that the source sequence files don't need to have this enabled one by one through Edit -> Sequence File Properties, but the deployed ones do (just like you can password protect the LabVIEW VI's through the TS Deployment Utility)? Suggestions?

Having searched around a bit, it looks like the ability to password-protect a sequence file in the sequence editor or operator interfaces was introduced back in TestStand 3.5.  However, while you can set passwords for VIs in the TSDU, I unfortunately don't believe you can do this for sequence files through the TSDU.  This might be a good thing to post on the TestStand Idea Exchange:
