Ideally, i think he'd like to get it without any additional DLLs,
because DLLs are always a pain in the butt to handle. What if the
next application to install comes with a different version of that
DLL? You probably know the dilemma better than me. ;-) (I don't have
Windows, and don't want one. :)

You will, unless your application needs /any and all/ functions out of
the libraries. ;-) Also, it's fairly unlikely that any other program
running at the same time might really share some code from those DLLs,
so the point of a shared library is not met anyway. (There's one other
application for a shared library, to provide a run-time plugin that can
easily be exchanged, but that doesn't apply here either.)
