We don't want to bundle the Oracle client but some customers may not be comfortable installing the client themselves. We could provide a Makefile target that downloads the instant client and unpacks it into the $OFFLOAD_HOME and perhaps adds environment variables to offload.env to use that specific ORACLE_HOME.
I've not fully thought this through but worth some thought. Perhaps we should prioritse the switch to oracledb instead.
