[PyInstaller] Can't install files outside dist dir

[Glenn Ramsey]

Hi,

I am getting an error packaging app for OSX that needs to install files in a 
Plugins dir that is on the same level as the MacOS dir:

Contents
    MacOS
    Plugins

Here is an excerpt from my spec file:

    extrafiles.append(("../Plugins/Plugin_CgProgramManager.dylib", 
pluginPath+"/Plugin_CgProgramManager.dylib", "DATA"))
    extrafiles.append(("../Plugins/RenderSystem_GL.dylib", 
pluginPath+"/RenderSystem_GL.dylib", "DATA"))


    coll = COLLECT( exe,
                   a.binaries + extralibs,
                   a.zipfiles,
                   a.datas + extrafiles,
                   strip=False,
                   upx=False,
                   name=os.path.join('dist', 'MyApp'))

and I get this error:

...
Security-Alert: try to store file outside of dist-directory. Aborting. 
'../Plugins/Plugin_CgProgramManager.dylib'

This is using the develop branch, up to date (15983b2...). It was working 
previously with 2.0.
