It is simpler but, isn't it very inefficient with large assets, since the
compiler eats a lot of memory?
Maybe a better choice is to directly embed the code into the executable
image, as an example appending a zip archive at the end of the executable
(this at least works with ELF on Linux).
Using a zip archive appended to the end of the executable, you don't even
need to record the offset.
The unzip tool just reports a warning:
warning [xxx]: ddd extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile
I have not tested it with the archive/zip package.
