snponly.efi doesn't really add anything currently. Some time ago, I sent around a patch that would allow other EFI applications to use gPXE's network stack and all of the protocols it supports. However, the patch was never integrated, and the elilo side of the code was never written.
Your idea of bundling the kernel/initrd/elilo into a single EFI app sounds neat. It's basically an mknbi command for EFI. I don't believe that anyone has actually implemented something like this, though.
