We have think about this

1) this means a lots more download archives. More work for us, and more
confuse for people.


2) and this way still not works

Look, assume you have compile in RB the application

    MyApp.app

It depends on V4RB.dylib which always is in one place

    MyApp.app/Contents/Frameworks/V4RB.dylib

Problem is that even if we prepare VComponents with already installed paths
to be at 

    MyApp.app/Contents/VComponents
   
The V4RB.dylib still DO NOT know this path.

Still must be runed bash script.
