It also does more than just that, since it has options like
"--static".  It seems to solve quite a lot of the world's problems,
actually. :)

This is the part that confused me: reading man mkbundle doesn't
explain the limitations.  Thanks for the explanation.

The p/invoke stuff seems like it might be easy enough to fake by
linking to a static library instead of a dynamic one, and then looking
for dynamic symbols in dlopen(NULL) (ie. the executable file).  The
executable would have to be linked with -rdynamic in that case so that
it exports its own symbols.  All a bit tricky to get right, though.

Have fun,

Avery
