We control our environment and package only what is needed in it. This makes a micro system in which everything is controlled and isolated, even the global dlls (to the virtual env) I wanted to install.

If that is your use case, you may want to take a good lok at conda -- that is exactly what it is for -- why re-invent the wheel? ( sorry ).

Note that while conda is the package manger for Anaconda, it can also be used to build your own distribution, you wouldn't need to adopt Anaconda as a platform.
