It doesn't actually generate standalone binaries. It is very hacky but it
can produce redistributable tarballs for a specific use-case (games using
chickadee) by including shared libraries and other bits from the host
system.  Standalone executables will not really be possible until Guile's
compiler is capable of producing them.
