This only makes sense if the footprint libraries and 3d model libraries
are included in the bundle.  If you install them in a custom path, then
it's your responsibility to set the environment variables appropriately.
 I don't think Bernhard has gotten that far yet.  Let's get the
application bundle solidified and then talk about which libraries to
include.  The environment variables can be added as the libraries are
added to the bundle.  I think we are on the right path here.  It will
just take some time.
