Building snap from binaries

[l-snapcraft at znn.info]

Hi Luther,

yes it is possible to build snaps from binaries. If the binaries don't
include dependencies you probably want to include some dependencies via
stage-packages. So if you use  snapcraft to build your snap instead of
manually crafting a squashfs then take a look at the dump plugin:

http://snapcraft.io/docs/reference/plugins/dump

With it you can easily organise your files within the snap.
