I'm wondering if the following site would be helpful in allowing embedded data :
http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/embedding-file-executable-aka-hello-world-version-5967 (http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/embedding-file-executable-aka-hello-world-version-5967)
It should work on all platforms...
The only problem is the extra work needed with all LOAD/X_LOAD commands to allow loading from embedded data.
