Running makeMKV as portable on Win7

Is it possible to create a portable version of makeMKV to use on Win7 or within Linux using bottles?

BTW I am a longtime registered user of makeMKV and I am so grateful for your program... Thank you again and again for creating and maintaining this awesome utility!
