./scripts/package-windows-portable.sh

The script stages the Meson install tree, copies the dependent runtime DLLs, bundles the GTK runtime files needed by the portable directory, generates an iptux-portable.cmd launcher that refreshes the pixbuf loader cache for the current extraction path, and writes dist/iptux-portable.zip.

Usage

• adjust firewall to allow use the TCP/UDP 2425 port.
• then run iptux.
