not actually "embedded", more like a bit of shim code that extracts the runtime into some temporary directory that then runs the actual code.

Not sure what you mean? I've hosted powershell in C# code by referencing Microsoft.Powershell.Sdk - it pulls in the dll at compile time and runs on whatever .Net runtime that is installed and matches the project target.
