there is no yuckyness involved in having one executable, now CLISP has just
measured up with GCC, which can create one executable file for all platforms
(even on Mac) since the beginning. Lisp is a bit different and I like the
image concept for developing, but this doesn't mean that delivering needs to
be more complicated than with every other GCC program.

Of course, adding the image to the end of the file is not the best solution.
For Windows it would be better to use the capabilities of the EXE file
format and include it as resources, but until someone wants to write this
(and wants to mess with the differences on Linux and Mac for the ELF
format), I can live with this solution.
