Time to simplify install scripts?

Sorry, on the first point I meant, is it really necessary to get and set PWD before the binary loads.

is it really necessary to get and set PWD before the binary loads.

IIRC this was done in a (IMO futile) attempt to reference the bundled Qt libraries, see #12 and #15. I haven't been following the development here lately, doesn't -DPRIVATE_INSTALL=OFF work anymore?

After looking into the CMakeFiles of ResInsight, I found that we actually found the good way of handling the shared object load path some time ago. This means that the resinsight startup script is not neccesary for the ResInsight executable, but still is for the Octave plugins to find the QtLibraries. I'll look into it.

Getting a clear picture of the search path behaviour of octave has been a bit more difficult than I had hoped. There are several things to consider:

1. The octave executable
2. The location of the script file (.m) to run
3. The paths to possible scripts called by the main script
4. The location of the *.oct files. The octave plugins that makes octave able to communicate with ResInsight
5. The location of the Qt libraries used by the octave plugins

This is fixed now, we do not need a startupscript any more. And Statoils internal scripts has been removed or simplified as well.
