I for one would really need this functionality of stuffing all files into one executable.
It is too compilated to handle two files, eventually only the exe file will be copied.

I know thats not that efford to copy two files instead of one - but i know that sooner or la
ter some scripts will be broken because of the zip file missing at the end users system.

Thanks for your efford,
