I've previously started with the Fedora 9 RPMs, used cpio to extract them
inside the bundle, and then done a whole lot of path-munging to wire
things up. I'm a little bit hesitant to do that now, though, as I worry
that it may introduce library version dependencies that render the
resulting bundle totally unportable.  Another thing I may try is building
static binaries directly from upstream source tarballs.  Anyway, I'll try
to document the result.
