Hi Ben,

I have. Unfortunately, that turns out to be quite difficult, because it 
depends on making builds of GCC and Qt (and all the other Octave 
dependencies) that are relocatable, which is no easy task, because 
they're not designed for that.

Related issue: 
https://github.com/octave-app/octave-app-bundler/issues/2, which is a 
prerequisite for making Octave.app itself relocatable.

Sorry.

Cheers,
Andrew
