Quickly move an executable between systems with ELF Statifier

This type of thing is useful on a case by case basis. Often times I have needed to run something on another machine on which I do not have admin privileges or has a different version of libc or other libraries. I essentially ran ldd on the executable and copied the libraries over to a local directory. This is not the long term 'right' way of setting up a process but strange circumstances exist with work or whatever, where you need to rig together a quick solution.

Check out ldd, it lists which libraries an executable will look for.
