Bug#628438: Make .love files executable via traditional mechanisms ./foobar.love

[Mark Hobley]

Package: love
Version: 0.7.2-1
Severity: wishlist

It would be useful, if the resultant .love files could be treated as a normal
executable file that worked via the ./foobar.love mechanism. At the moment,
attempting to run the file gives an error:

../foobar.love: ./test.love: cannot execute binary file

I created a test application from my package source directory as follows:

zip -r ../test.love
cd ..
chmod u+x text.love

I now run the file:

../test.love
../test.love: ./test.love: cannot execute binary file
