This will NOT be in an hpkg.

It is self contained. Yes it is written in yab, but then compiled into
an executable binary. There is no need for yab to be installed. I wish
to make a distribution zip with an installer that will work on r1a4,
and recent nightlys, the missing apps directory is the only issue
stopping me.
