I don't know the exact reason for the change, but if your escript
depends on your .erlang file, then you can't share it with anyone.

In fact, if your escript even just loads your .erlang file, then
you can't share it with anyone.

I believe that the correct behaviour for escript is *not* to read
a .erlang file, unless directed to do so explicitly.
