.sb to .exe/ similar converter

Could there be a scratch converter, to convert scratch files to an actual piece of software? or at least a game that doesn't have to be run in scratch. I am suggesting this because scratch is a free thing- very open and very popular, so couldn't there be an online converter or something, to make a scratch project a game able to run outside scratch, where the project author, when browsing ther gallery, sees a very poular project and thinks: "even more people could enjoy this if it was a more durable file type," has the project converted, and now even more people are happy, as non-scratch users can get a game as a free download, knowing that they don't have to spend ages downloading scratch, opening it and playing it before accidentally changing it. I think this would be an awesome idea, if people like it. (please say yes!!)

Not . exe, maybe a clever converter that makes a project work in a normal media player? How does flash do it?

I'd love to be able to put scratch games on kongregate.
