   Build Standalone MTH5 Validator Executable
   ===========================================

   Builds a lightweight executable (~20-30 MB) that only depends on h5py.

   Much smaller and simpler than the full mth5-based validator because:
   - No scipy/numpy/obspy dependencies
   - No matplotlib/pandas dependencies
   - No mth5 I/O stack
   - Just h5py + standard library

   Usage:
       python build_standalone_validator.py

   Output:
       dist/mth5-validator.exe (Windows) - ~20-30 MB
       dist/mth5-validator (Linux/Mac)
