It is unfortunate that IDL is not (maybe they are ???) working
on expanding this capability to more affordable and user
developing option.
Mathworks (MATLAB) offer you their MATLAB C-library and
C-compiler for reasonable cost and let you build an exexutable
yourself. It is still limitted, but, I believe, it is a step in the right
direction. I wish RSI were more aggresive in their competition
and incorporated more of the obviously good ideas.
