RFC: Simple executable bundlers for macOS and Linux

[3noch]

For simple executables with dynamic libraries, I'd like to propose we offer a no-frills bundler that brings in nearly zero build-time dependencies. This would be very suitable for a CI job, for example.

Here's a project that attempts this: https://github.com/3noch/nix-bundle-exe

It depends on only bash and basic system tools. Unlike nix-bundle, this works on macOS and does not pull in a large Nix closure (arx is a rather hefty thing to build if its not already in your cache!).

The goal of this kind of bundler would not be to handle every possible edge case, but provide a very light-weight option to basic executable packages.

Looks like a good idea. I’m in favor of adding something like this.
