That is: stageN/bin contains everything needed-to-run stageN/bin,

because it searches the exe directory for dlls. Because it's crazy.
I think I read that Windows supports something like rpath with
application manifest files. It's more of a pain than rpath, though.
Yeah. It's semi-possible in some windows configs, but carries its own
weird file-naming restrictions, plus the manifest file stuff, plus only
works on some versions of windows.

It would be ... difficult and I think somewhat counterproductive to go
down that road. It seems microsoft's vc team *themselves* gave up on it
(or are semi-deprecating it) in the 2010 toolchain; they're just
mangling version numbers into filenames now.
So I'm more-keen on doing that, ourselves :)
