LD_LIBRARY_PATH if workpath is not null (workpath = getenv
( "_MEIPASS2" ). So, I would have to change too much of the source
code and I doubt the patches would get taken in up-stream. It would
probably be some sort of security risk if the system were to
automatically look in subdir."/lib" always without the person
packaging the program explicitly flag that as an option.
Also, hacking the C code for the linux platform forces the same amount
of hacking for the windows platform as well, and I don't think i can
maintain that complex of a patch (again, assuming that up-stream
doesn't want this feature).
Hacking iu.py works on both platforms (guessing: haven't tried windows
yet) and satisfies the purely cosmetic desire to reduce the number of
files in the dist directory, making the executable much easier to spot.
