This isn't a complete answer -- it requires Python, but you might figure out a way to also embed an interpreter and libraries. I remember seeing such an installation somewhere (I think on SourceForge), but I don't remember the name of it. At any rate, this explains how to package your python project and libs as a self-extracting compressed executable: http://www.noah.org/wiki/Python_zip_exe -- Noah Spurrier -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
