If you use shared libraries (dylibs) you need to copy all of them (that 
you linked against)

as above, if you have shared libraries, you can't link them in. (well, you 
can on some systens which allow the linker to do it, but that's not really 
a portable assumption)

you could build for map types for which no dynamic libraries were needed, 
and get a binary.
