Packaging a shoes app standalone (as exe)

Question

I have a shoes app, packaged as a .shy file. This is a good way to distribute my program, but it requires the person using my app to have installed both ruby and shoes previously. That is not good, because my target users are not necessarily experienced with installing extra programs and don't necessarily understand that some programs depend on others. Is there a way to package my entire app as a .exe file, which does not require the separate installation of shoes, but instead packages it with my app?

You'd probably want to look into Crate or Ocra
