To produce such executable on windows check out this[1]. To make 
a installer, you need to find the dll files that the executable 
depend on,I'm trying to do excactly this[2], in order to deploy 
an application without the user need to install the Gtk+ runtime. 
I believe just copying those dlls to application's folder will 
work. It seems for themes and stuff you need something more but 
I'm not there yet.
