[erlang-questions] Bundling C dependencies with a release

[Nathan Fiedler]

I don't know about best practices, but compiling the code and copying it to
the "priv" directory seems to work well. The pre_hooks in rebar are very
helpful for this. By using the priv dir, everything gets included as part
of the release, at least with rebar3. Just zip up or copy the "rel"
directory under _build and you're good to go.

Hope that helps.
