.exe

I want to make an easy to deploy Windows application and was was wondering which programming systems can create totally self contained Windows .exe files?

As a plus, if the same can be done with MacOSX and Linux from the same source this would be a bonus. I took a look at Realbasic but they have since abandoned the single .exe concept.
