Could someone correct me but it should work like this:
- the dependent ones know the name of shared files and name of the exe where to 
extract it from.
- the dependent ones see the master as a zip archive with files
- when dependent one is executed it extracts files from the master exe into 
tmpdir.
- then it executes itself as any other app with all files in tmpdir.
- the restriction is that you should not rename the master .exe file otherwise 
it won't work.

Anyway, with python3 branch the MERGE feature is broken and we will have to fix 
it for next release.
