ELPA works this way, more or less. It isn't as simple as "drop in
some elisp and work", since it provides some other features that
require a bit more metadata. But, the basic idea is the same: extract
autoloads and byte-compile at package install time; and read the
minimal number of files and only evaluate autoloads at package
evaluation time.
For more info:

There are some other, more minimal, elisp install packages. They are
listed on the wiki.
