What are you reading?  If you register the binder, you can shroud code
into an il file, which can be run by backend.exe.  You can also bind that
il file to backend.exe, so it turns into a self contained executable.  But
you can only use the RDS supplied tool to create the il file, since the
format is proprietary.

What many have been requesting, is for an alternate way to take 'unshrouded'
il code and turn it into the RDS proprietary format (call it an alternative
shrouder/binder).
