Installer

[Skaanbilly2]

Hi Norbert

For the sake of experimentation I used pyinstaller to create a one-file
executable and tried to run that executable from Windows and from Ubuntu
(through WSL).
Both of these worked fine in my case. For me that indicates no xz-library
needs to be added manually for Windows and Ubuntu, of course more
investigation is needed.

I am not sure about Cygwin or NetBSD since I am not familiar with these, I
think it is better if someone else with more experience with those looks at
that.


Kind regards
Milan
