Subject: Incrementally loading implementations?

I would like to know how hard it would be to incrementally load
ICON binary files (esp. the .u[12] type files for the interpreter).
Has anyone done this? Has anyone tried and found it too hard?
Background: I am designing a distributed system where code fragments
("packages") must migrate between systems, to be "plugged in" at
the destination system and run with relatively low overhead.
An important requirement for such "migrant code" is of course independence
from the host architecture and system, which makes the ICON .u[12]
formats look rather appealing.
Anybody? Thanks
