building a standalone executable

Hi all,
I've been reading a lot about building Java executables that don't
require any JVM. This freedom from the JVM really appealed to me since
I always dread asking people to download a large JRE just to try some
programs I'm writing. GCJ seemed like the way to go to make software
execution speedy and simple for any user.
But is there a way to create a standalone Java executable? In
particular, I was looking for a way to allow people to download a single
package and run the executable directly, rather than having to install
several other packages as prerequisites. Would this mean that I would
have to include libgcj into the single package? Does libgcj's license
allow that?
I'm not too familiar w/ using GCC, so this is all quite new (and
exciting) to me. I appreciate your help.
