You also need to distribute the modules. Bear in mind that distributing
the .so libraries requires that the user has specific versions of its
dependent libraries installed. I'm not personally convinced that it's a
good idea to do this.
Out of curiosity: what do you do if the user is not (and cannot become)
root?
