I'm not sure I understand. You're saying miktex is a dependency of pdfcrop.pl? Looking at the source it seems like it should only need ghostscript?

EDIT: I see that it uses pdftex to calculate margins

So why do you want to make a monolothic distribution anyway, Let people who want to use it install MikTeX.

EDIT2: You can compile pdftex as a standalone
