Will it be possible and feasible to package the Sass compiler into a standalone executable (and without installing Ruby)?

It already exist for the .Less files (with the dotLess project) and CoffeeScript, but not for Sass, which is I think a big lack for this metalanguage.

I thinks a command line compiler should give us a lots of new ways to compile Scss files and to make solutions self-contained. For example to kick off the executable compiler as a build task, or with a PowerShell script (would be very useful in the case of a SharePoint project).

We could use it as this way:
$(SolutionDir)Tools\sass.compiler.exe $(ProjectDir)\css\styles.scss $(ProjectDir)\css\styles.css -minified

Thanks!
Etienne.
