Z88 project using Ermine for creating portable, reliable Linux binaries.
"Truly, it took quite a while to bundle all the correct dynamic link libs to the executable on Linux, still providing a bash script wrapper - to load the libs in the local install directory. Then testing on different platforms... true hell - checking the installer on older linux environments than the bundled natives + libs. Your solution [Ermine] will be an end to this! And we will have a rock-stable binary distribution for Linux."
