Excellent!  There still remains the issue that when running on Windows,
csc should do this embedding for any user-written program that contains
the magic strings in its name ("instal", "update", "setup").  Ideally gcc
should do this, but until it does, csc seems the right place.

It's the old, old story.  Droid meets droid.  Droid becomes chameleon.
Droid loses chameleon, chameleon becomes blob, droid gets blob back
