Can Fan build executables so that i can sendthe programs i make to friends etc for them to use? without them having to download fan and set it up via command prompt etc?

You will need Fan and Java runtime. Easiest thing is to create distribution which just includes Fan and all your custom pods.
You can create a custom Win32 executable yourself. You can see src/launcher for how we created the flux.exe launcher. But that will launch with a DOS console. We don't have any console-less launch code yet. But if you google around you probably find some sample code how to do it (I've built console-less executables before).
Or another option might be to create an executable jar which can be double clicked.
