Some libraries have extra run-time files that they refer to with `define-runtime-path` and similar. I think "gregor" is in that category, where it needs files like "timezone.xml". Embedding DLLs can't embed those extra files.
The intent is that you use `raco distribute` to package an executable along with any needed run-time files into a directory. That whole directory can then be moved to another machine to run it.
