What's against using temporary files, if they are deleted after the application is finished? I've done some tests with what I called "cocooning"; making Lua applications into self-sufficient entities on all OS X (easy), Linux, and Win32. Nothing that can be currently used, but the concept was tested and working, including bundling the necessary dynamic libraries with the application (without need to install them anywhere, neither Linux nor Win32).

Have you managed to solve "dll-in-zip" problem? That is I want to load dlls into memory directly without creating temporary files.

Oh no, not at all. That is a very hard (though not impossible) problem. My apps are basically scripts+data, and these live

in zip-like resource files -- there's no app-specific

platform-specific code included in these, that's all driven by

a generic C engine with its own dependencies.
