You're correct that this part of the scons building system could use some
improvement, or just make sure that with WITH_BF_PLAYER=1 WITH_BF_GAMEENGINE
gets set to true automatically (the better idea).

The executable is essentially blender, but without the unnecessary parts
(editors, etc). You should be able to run a game .blend by giving it to the
blenderplayer on the command-line. (And the saved game runtimes is nothing
more than the .blend concatenated to the blenderplayer executable, with some
magic to have it use the concatenated .blend as input).

Of course, the blenderplayer (and any saved game runtime) still needs the
.dlls Blender needs too.
