[Fluxus] embedding modules in fluxus

Hi all,

In the interest of making fluxus more portable/installable I've been
looking into getting the modules statically linked into the fluxus
executable. It's not too hard, now I'm looking at getting the scheme
code embedded as compiled bytecode.

I also managed to build a version with every library statically linked
in except libGL (which as we were saying some time ago, isn't possible
as it's essentially the OpenGL driver).

There are some scons problems to overcome in order to get it to produce
the right linker command line, but I think this would mean we'd have an
executable that would require no dependencies at all.

I haven't committed any of this yet, as it wont get past boot.scm at the
moment, but I just thought I should mention that I'm looking at it...

cheers,

dave
