On Windows I have tried to build a GNUstep application, not just a tool,
that would have all the needed GNUstep libraries and resources in one
directory. What was needed for that was some fiddling with the
GNUstep.conf file that went into the same directory. But your request
seems to be to get one file only and have that run on a machine without
GNUstep. I think this is possible (given that you recompile all needed
libraries statically), but will be strongly restricted in the available
functionality.
