Another update is here  I have a fully working, mingw based, portable environment that should run anywhere you take it. All the tricks are done in a tiny wrapper (about 40 lines of code). It takes care about the paths and invokes theide. I didn't put it anywhere online yet, because it is quite big (~100MB in zip), but I'll do it as soon as I get to better internet connection 
Now it is time to move to the next level - adding a support for Linux, to make this really portable. So far things look promising, with only one problem: The .upp directory is hardcoded in theide  If it should be usable, this directory has to be portable too, not in the /home. IMHO the best way is to change the sources to check for environment variable, let's say $UPP_HOME. If it exists, its content would be used instead ~/.upp. That way not only portable installs would became possible, but also multi-user setups (several users sharing same configurations). Also, this change would affect not only theide, but any U++ app, bringing more freedom for users, while keeping compatibility with current behavior.
