I tried to use the thing outside of the IDE today for the first time and had
to realise that the plugins need the attached patch to the interpreter which
allows to load libraries (Component.Load()) from arbitrary absolute paths
even if the interpreter is not in debugging mode. Normally Component.Load()
is only permitted from /bin or /usr/bin, AFAICS.

Benoit, is that a security feature or something?

Regards,
Tobi
