autotools makes it easy to kind of shrink-wrap binaries onto any number of subtly different varieties of (mainly) POSIX ABIs. autotools plays a significant role in proliferation of Linux's self-incompatibilities.
Since this is an ISV anti-feature, it would be overkill, at best.

I jsut had my browser dump my detailed reply and I am calling it quits for the night... Oh well...

In short I agree with Guido. It was an "off the top" brainstorming idea which I had not thought through. Hacking in running the scripts will work, but we should address the security issues as part of the discussion and development. The plus side is that it should be relitively easy to get it up and running...
