Description
We currently distribute an app built using pyinstaller, which embeds a C++ executable using the --add-binary flag (link to the more relevant --add-data docs). I couldn't see an analogous flag for PyApp, is there any way to add more data to the built app? I think we could move off pyinstaller if we had this, everything else seems to be working fine (with shockingly little effort, great work!)

Research direction
Start with PyApp's build and packaging entry points and the linked PyInstaller --add-data documentation; the issue names no repository files or tests. Done means providing an equivalent way to include additional data and a C++ binary in the built application, with coverage for that packaging path.
