Is it possible, in VB.NET 2003 Standard, to link referenced DLLs statically,
so I only have to distribute a single executable?

All you can do is linking class libraries into the EXE files using tools
like ILMerge or ILLink, but this makes sense only in rare cases, and the
application will still rely on the .NET Framework.
