Portable apps maker examples: cameyo, vmware, thinapp, etc.

There are many programs which work by taking a initial snapshot of the system and comparing with a final one make portable apps.
However these apps themselves require an installation.

I would be glad if someone makes a "app maker"
Cameyo and VM Ware Thin App are two such softwares and i know they are not opensource but someone could try making them and it will be a landmark success if someone does because then all other apps can be made in a jiffy.

I know the programs will need admin rights but then that's ok as long no permanent changes are made.
