Suggetion to make SVRT portable

I've been using SVRT on many occasions, and really like it. It has some unique capabilities that others don't. Thank you :) I had some suggestions to improve its usefulness. Though I know these cannot be incorporated in the next release, but I might as well write em, and you can consider them and incorporate whenever.

Make it portable. Since SVRT is only for manual scanning, as opposed to an active running service, I don't see the need to install it. It would make more sense for this to be a standalone executable, which will then also be portable.

Adding to the above, the aspect of updating needs to be addressed. As I see it, the ideal picture would be to have SVRT as an entirely portable utility. It'll be a folder, and the updates will be downloaded into this folder, and SVRT will load the definitions/engines from this folder.
Kaspersky, with their KVRT, has done this a little different. KVRT is a standalone executable, and they release a new KVRT.exe file every few days, which contains the new definitions. McAfee's stinger is similar.

Either of these methods would make more sense, be better, easier and more useful. Thanks again for your great tool.
