Comment (by pulkomandy):

 Ok, from this output we can see that the app is properly using
 find_directory (in two places) and there is no hardcoded path (strings
 shows nothing that look like "add-ons").

 This means we can act at the find_directory level to adjust the paths and
 the app would work again.

 Two solutions:
 - Patch Haiku to detect BeOS executables, and use non-packaged directories
 in find_directory in that case
 - Patch Wrier to change the constant sent to find_directory so that it
 uses non-packaged add-ons, or possibly settings if that's more
 appropriate?
