People have talked about distributing stand-alone Squeak programs, and often the talk turns to self-extracting executables. I don't think that self-extracting executables are the core of the problem. Instead, there is simply a myriad of administrative work that must be done to create a standalone package for multiple platforms.
Anyway, to try and focus the discussion in this direction, I have put a tiny distribution of a Towers of Hanoi solver at:

Linux and Windows people, let me know what you think! I'll try and add more platforms over time. Eventually, most of this could be automated, but it seems useful to have one example of doing it the hard way.
