Bundling executables in the package

[brunobg]

Is it possible to bundle external executables in the package? Pure external .exe to be processed with child_process.exec. something like this:

var exec = require('child_process').exec;
console.log()
exec(__dirname + '/foo', function callback(error, stdout, stderr){
        console.log("got it!", error, stdout);
});

I tried to add foo to the assets, but it still fails with a /bin/sh: /thebox/[path]/foo: No such file or directory.

The only way known to me is read from __dirname-relative (internal) path and write to cwd-relative (external) path. And then execute it.
