I dont think this dependency is needed to achieve linking to filters
in another directory
i think its worth the few hours extra time to find a clean/nice way to do it
with no new depeandancies

also there is the quite intriguing option of using "git merge" to include
external filters
What i mean here is that there could be a script lets call it ffmerge

"ffmerge available" would check some online repository and list whats
compatible with the current checkout

"ffmerge merge shiny_filter" would then merge the shiny filter repository/branch

Advanatge would be that this is more powerfull than just linking external
filters.
Disadvantage is that for this to work care needs to be taken that conflicts
do not occur

thx
