Description

Helpers to handle directory search paths.

The SerachPathSplitter allows to evaluate a "path" like specification with colon separated components. It is complemented by some magic convenience functions to self-discover the currently running executable and to resolve the $ORIGIN pattern similar to what is known from linker rpath / runpath
