trayBin: fallback to self install? #7

Description

@cryptix

I'm having problems with the way the helper binaries are stuffed under $HOME/.cache. It has problems on uncommon platforms and hides an external dependency.

Supporting other architectures, like arm(64), will also lead to an explosion of files in the trayBin folder and increase the size of the npm package much more.

Wouldn't it make more sense to clearly state the external dependeny and make individual packages for systray-portable? As a gopher myself I could help with that.

A more nodejs/self-contained approach would be native cxx module but that is not my arena of expertise.
