There are many ways to append resources. But for distributing a standalone
executable you would need to statically link the SDL.dll. And as far as I
know now, it would be theoretically possible to do that, but nobody ever
managed to do it.

My current plan is to have a small starter application, which unpacks
everything to a temporary directory, and starts my SDL app from there.
