Don't the existing bundles do this anyway? e.g. to create a "fat" bundle of ROX-Filer: $ 0export --arch Linux-i586 --arch Linux-x86_64 rox-filer-bundle.sh http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/ROX-Filer To trim a bundle, just install the fat one (optionally to a temporary directory) and then run 0export again with fewer --arch options. Might need a ROX front-end though. Currently, it asks if you want to add a launcher to the GNOME menu...
