Actually, it does not. If that's what you want then you are free to implement your windows-like installer. The process goes something like this:
* Install all binaries (executable and dynamic libraries) in a target directory (say, /opt/<your_app> or /usr/local/<your_app>)
* Create a shell script that sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory where you've installed your program files and afterwards runs your application
* Run the application by launching the script
I would also like to add that the Windows-like process you've mentioned is also a crude hack developed to get around Windows' DLL problem.
