Summary0001889: Make NetSurf a single windows executable
Descriptiona portable singlefile browser would be really great for usb drives, mini-cds, etc..
include default.css, netsurf.png and messages into executable as resources. (opt. check for user css in start folder)
set default homepage to online version of welcome.html (+add commandline arg to overwrite default homepage + fullscreen kiosk mode arg)
use windows build-in dns resolver instead of libcares-2.dll - dns/ipv6? (or statically link)
find a way to remove dependency on libgnurx-0.dll - regexp? (or statically link)
why would netsuft even need regexp when there is no javascript yet? a bit overkill for url parsing..

Might be interesting to do this generically. Though it would be nice on windows to be like putty.exe

We have no Windows maintainer and we're unlikely to get around to this in any generic sense.
