An option would be to bundle the PHP scripts in a PHAR, and to also ship
a PHP binary, maybe mostly self-contained by compiling in the extensions
statically (doesn't work for all exts, though).  A small .bat file could
then be used to start the app.  This way you couldn't ship a single .exe
file; instead there would be a few files (perhaps as few as app.phar,
php.exe, php7.dll, php.ini, app.bat).
