I've been thinking on this for a while, mostly for windows[^1].
We could manage to generate something similar to this, but I suspect it 
requires a pretty heavy magic for non-python packages.

I'd love to see this happening, mostly because I have clients I'd like to be 
able to serve... If you want to dig on this issue, please let me know your 
findings. Maybe I can help!

Thanks for bringing this up!
