In that case, look at the way AppleScript (and Automator, I assume) do
this.  If I recall correctly, they create an application, according to the
OS's definition, that launches a small interpreter that fires off the
AppleScript.

Depending on how much or little you want to include in each small app, you
could utilize a framework that is called upon by the tiny interpreter.

If all you have is a script, though, you could utilize the shell launch
mechanism as an alternative and make sure the file its executable bit set.
