I expect it to work, since make_rt just copies files and makes start
scripts, and it can take external bin directories and manifest files
(idldir and manifest keywords).

That file is large because has the bin directories of 7 different
versions: Win 32 and 64, Linux 32 and 64, and Mac PPC, Intel 32 and
Intel 64. Additionally, not all its contents is used on every
distribution produced, and some control over it can be don with
make_rt's keywords.

The smallest sizes of the resulting directories I have seen are
50-80MB, depending on the platform. But even so, they include many
files that may be erased if the application does not use that
particular feature (such as help, maps, itools, and bridges).
