Just noticed I didn't finish removing the fixed stack allocated
filename buffers.  Probably not the only issues.  Please let me know if
there's anything else to fix.

Hello Steven, I'm afraid there are fundamental issues with this that means I'm not interested in merging this approach, or any derived from it at this point.

There are many issues that need to be resolved for systemwide install on multiple platforms and your method actually adds more problems than it solves.
