You could download the deb (either by hand or with apt-get -d install)
and use dpkg -x to unpack it to a temporary directory so you can copy
just the files you want. ldd will tell you which libraries the binaries
are linked against so you can copy over anything that isn't likely to be
installed on the machines where you're going to run it. Remember to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the binary, you may want to write a shell
script wrapper to do it for you.
