[pdal] PDAL driver/plugin search path

[Brutovski, Robert - Exelis]

I seem to be having some trouble getting PDAL to recognize a new writer that I am creating as a plugin. I found that if I changed StageFactory::loadPlugins so that the "pluginDir" was equal to ".:./bin" so that it would search in the same directory as the pdal.exe executable, then it would work. I suppose that what I should have done was to set an environment variable named "PDAL_DRIVER_PATH" to ".:./bin" instead. Is that correct? If so, any thoughts on the best way to distribute the pdal.exe file to another user working on Windows? Is it expected that the other user would need to set that environment variable, as well as install all the supporting PDAL libraries (boost, all the OSGeo4W64 libraries, etc.)?
