Yeah, it won't work for the scripts (or when you want to directly load
some of the adonthell modules in interactive mode.

It's still useful, I think. Chances are high that the actual adonthell
"launcher" will be C++ and not just a script. And while people on
Linux might just get it through their distro and stuff will be in
standard directories, it will become easier to create binaries (for
other OSes, mainly) but possibly also for Linux.

So it'll be in with my next commit.

Btw,, if you let me know your github account name, I can add you as
contributor, so you can directly push your stuff to the central
repository in the future.
