I wonder if we would be better off to create an AppImage since this is packaging all the shared libraries?

Makes sense. I added AppImage in v1.7
I have used AppImageKit for that

It works, however it seems to ignore the parameters given.
So if I wanted to specify data directory like

$ ./paintown-x86_64.AppImage -d data-other

it ignores it.
We should allow it to override with the parameters given:

[kazzmir]

lets put these release scripts into a release/ subdirectory, they don't need the easy prefix

[humbertodias]
