What about using another script language like TCL that can be
made into a single file executable?  The dependency seems to be 
"no external reference" and not "no perl" -- isn't it possible 
to compile a perl prog into an executable?

Will this be available for the public?  From time to time the 
question aroses on this list to get a ConTeXt environment 
without installing a full TeX distribution -- maybe you will 
have the answer to this :-)
