It's a script that configures binaries to run from the build
directory.  Shared library dependency paths get set.

If you do a "make install" you'll get binary with those paths frozen,
and no wrapper script.  This is a way to share binaries with others.

As for data files, they get installed in $(datadir)/swarm/APPNAME, and
you get use -getAppDataPath to get that absolute path in the case of
an installed binary.  When the model runs from the build directory,
-getAppDataPath will return "." or another default as specified by
-setDefaultAppDataPath:.
