Since we cannot statically compile (yet) libs + the runtime, it could be nice to have a way to bundle pixie-vm with a lib and it's dependencies and have some kind of startup script for it to make it "transparent".
This could be something similar to makeself or UPX
From a quick test we could shrink pixie-vm to 3.1 mo with compression. That command would resolve all depedencies of a project, trigger compilation (pxic), create a platform specific script and bundle all the compiled files with pixie-vm. Upon execution the first time it would uncompress all of it in a temp/local directory and run a startup command.
This is nothing too fancy but that would make distribution a bit easier.
