So anyone who's going to run your program needs your loader. If
someone wants to redistribute your code, s/he can simply distribute
the loader as well - and you're right back where you started. You have
still achieved nothing in terms of preventing redistribution.

Please do not do this. Not only are you not achieving the goal you
think you are, you're making a mess for people to have to deal with.
