I just don't see this as something that can be portable.  Don't get me
wrong.  I really like applications with an easy launching technique
that don't leave files splattered all over the place.  I just see more
headaches than are saved.  All of a sudden, we need to use intimate
knowledge of platform specific binary formats.  This runs at top speed
away from portability.  Is this a win?  Couldn't this be done instead
with some script mechanism avoiding the proprietary specifics?

Sincerely,
