Austin has updated the dependency build script and we've been using it
on my box to build the required libraries but they are not together in
a bundle, hence the need for the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH changes. What do you think is the best way
to resolve this issue? My interest is that I'd like to provide binary
packages of Winehq releases however this issue is a real pain. I
suppose we could also provide a support package that is separate from
the stock Wine package which would supply the missing libraries or
whatnot.

Thanks
