+## Find the current Executable and ExecutableFolder.
+
+There is sometimes utility in finding the current executable file
+that is running. This can be used for upgrading the current executable
+or finding resources located relative to the executable file.
+
+Multi-platform and supports:
+ * Linux
+ * OS X
+ * Windows
+ * Plan 9
+ * BSDs.
