binary file within a shell script

[Jille]

It's not exactly what you are looking for:
But you could take a look at shar(1).
I don't even know for sure whether it can archive binaries.
shar gives you a shellscript, to which you could prefix your own script,
and when you run it, it'll extract the incorporated file, and you can
exec it :)
