<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> directory in it (with its own PB settings/logs etc</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>this is a pb thing i don't think that it is configurable by us that way w/o their assitance, but will look into it.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>anyway, looking at the strace and LD_DEBUG output i think you can do this (at least on .elf systems) by playing LD_LIBRARY_PATH games. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>completely untested</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>- copy the pb directories to your overlay directory</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>- symlink the mod directory to your overlay directory</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>- prepend the overlay directory to your LD_LLIBRARY_PATH</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>- cd to your overlay path directory</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>- run the exe relative to your cwd</FONT>
