No, I don't know if cross platform creation of a Windows self-extracting .exe 
is possible.  I was hoping/assuming/researching that it was.

The only documentation that I found other than the man page is installed 
under:

/usr/lib64/p7zip/help/cmdline/switches/sfx.htm

It mentions that "SFX modules for installers are included in an external 
package (7z_extra)", but haven't found it (or other sfx modules) on my system 
and the online 7z_extra is full of MSWindows files, but not these modules.

Perhaps it is not doable from a Linux system, at least not without installing 
it first in a MSWindows VM to get the Windows modules out.  I will try that 
next.
