Sergey Sharybin f0e098cbfb Tools: Add cleaner of bpy install folder for wheel
The goal of this cleaner is to replace all libraries that are symbolic
link with a regular files, and remove all library files that are not
actually used.

This circumvents the situation when wheel packing converts symbolic
links (libraries with ABI in their names) to regular files due to the
limitation of the zip archives. Doing a manual cleanup pass allows to
run regression tests after the cleanup is done. It is implemented as
as standalone tool so that it can be invoked when it is really needed.

In practice this lowers Linux bpy wheel file size from 540 MB down to
around 362 MB.

Blender Dev Tools
#################

This repository is intended for miscellaneous tools, utilities, configurations and
anything that helps with Blender development, but aren't directly related to building Blender.

Some of the tools included may be used stand-alone, others expect Blenders source code to be available.


Usage
=====

While this is a stand-alone repository,
some of the scripts which access Blenders source code assume this repository will be located at
``tools`` within Blenders source code repository. At some point this may be included as a submodule.

Some tools also rely on the ``blender`` binary, this is assumed to be located at: ``../../blender.bin``.
*The root directory of Blender's git repository*


Categories
==========

Scripts and utilities for working with git.


Utils
-----

Programs (scripts) to help with development
