There is no such thing.  Many reasons.  First, the stub and CWSDPMI are 
currently written in different languages.  Second, there is no reason to 
load a DPMI at all in many cases.  Third - CWSDPMI is still evolving,
and should be able to be replaced/upgraded separately from the image.

With V1, if you coff2exe'ed with -s go32, you still had to distribute
emu387 (for a total of 2 or 3 images).  With Windows, images typically
install DLL's.  With V2, if you link with -lemu, you can distribute 2
images (yours and cwsdpmi), without -lemu you distribute 3 (similar to
the V1 case).

Just distribute emu387.dxe and cwsdpmi.exe in the same directory as 
your image and everything should run without any other setup.
