I think it could be done, especially with DLX. A few years ago I put
together a cross platform framework which used a little DOS probe
program
'oxrun' to determine OS and other things. The main program was packaged
in a complicated EXE/PE format which had an embedded modified version of
GO32 V1.2 in one of the COFF segments. When the main program started
running
it used a dynamic linker to load the proper libraries.

V2.0 is a different beast than V1.2 so I'll leave it up to others to
sort
out the messy details.
