(I could be off the mark with this reply.)

I remember the mono runtime (Runtime for C# code) having similar
facility.  

See
        http://www.mono-project.com/Guide:Running_Mono_Applications

I see parallels to

1. emacs --batch

2. We can make the .elc byte code files a non-native binary.  .exe files
   are but CLI byte-code files.

3. mkbundle

   This seems like bundling the required .el(c) libraries and stripping
   all other unused libraries.
