Fun fact: this was basically THE killer feature of the Digital 
Mars compiler for me way back when. I started on a school 
computer where I couldn't install anything, and later, when I got 
a home computer, I kept it on disc.

To this day, I still use dmd the same way: unzip it and call the 
program in-place instead of trying to install it.
