Hans has a web-page addressing this issue.  I have no idea how useful or current these materials are in practice, however, and they do require making a separate build of the VM as a shared library, and packaging things as a resource under a fairly straightforward stub program.

Hi,
  On the mac this wouldn't be too bad, ie, the image could live in a
resource and on startup the vm could read that.  Windows executables
have some sort of resource idea too, right?  If so this could also
work for them.  I don't have a solution for unix short of just
compiling it into the vm and then stuffing it into memory.  That
sounds a bit ugly :-(  I don't know about other systems.

cheers
