So, when you have gone as far as you can, would it be worthwhile to tar up all of these patches and put it on the website in case anyone else wants to try it?

I tried to workaround raw data embedding using this stackoverflow answer:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34641373/how-do-i-embed-the-contents-of-a-binary-file-in-an-executable-on-mac-os-x

unfortunately while with attached haxkery main executable links it dies at startup with "-9" error

nm -a bin/cin                               

/opt/local/libexec/llvm-10/bin/llvm-nm: error: bin/cin truncated or malformed object (load command 21 LC_LOAD_DYLIB library name extends past the end of the load command)

and of course plugin linking is broken ...
