Smalltalk/V for Windows has always had a .EXE file, and does so to this
day.  The .EXE file also makes use of some DLL/SLL files, so the runtime
environment is never contained completely within the .EXE.  Regarding
your own application code, you can control how much of it goes into the
.EXE vs. going into your own custom SLL files.
