My concern is about having to separately install a JVM:
my users can/will not do that. I would like to rely on
an interpreter compiled with my launcher, so that my
application is stand-alone. As far as I know, this is
something that can only be acheived using a tool like
gcj or JET (http://www.excelsior-usa.com/jet.html).

I did the exact same thing using sun's launcher code,
parameterized using a single #define.
But it still relies on a JVM being present. Which I want
to avoid.
