pyqtdeploy: Automatic sysroot plugin generation

[Patrick Stinson]

Or alternatively, has anyone monkeyed around with just including pip in the exe and then adding code to the app to install a predefined set of wheels? I could have the app do this before running the BIST.

I had the idea of adding pytest, flask and all their dependencies so that I could move my pytest suite into my app exe built by pyqtdeploy. It would allow a Built-In Self Test (BIST) that would more thoroughly validate that the exe has everything it needs, e.g. no forgotten modules, C sources compiled correctly, also testing things out in strange deployment contexts.
