Self-contained as a "black-box binary" should be possible, but then it 
becomes difficult to maintain theories: slight changes in the 
specifications might cause big changes in the recovery of proofs.

For Z3 in particular, there is also the problem that you have to be a 
non-commercial user to run it.  This is hypothetical at the moment, since 
there are no commercial Isabelle or AFP maintainers.
