That approach is probably a good workaround for now.
If one wants to keep everything in a single par file then the needed files
could be packed as a zip file that is itself packed into the PAR exe file.
This can then be extracted to some other folder outside the temp dir when
the exe is first run.
Somewhere like $ENV{APPDATA}/your-app would work.
