The 'render_to_app_window' option can be used to tell Chromium to 
render back into the original application window.

The render SPU is just using whatever viewport parameters the 
application gives it.  So, the viewport size in the render SPU window 
is probably equal to the app window's size.

With the tilesort SPU you can scale up rendering to match the render 
SPU's window size.

Yeah, the only alternative to hacking the shell script is to put all 
the Chromium libs in a standard location (like /usr/local/lib/) and/or 
setting up various symlinks.
