I seem to remember that a product was available to do this (But I can't

There are plenty of them. Provided there is no way to include a Delphi
DLL into a Delphi EXE using only Delphi tools, the following tools
like you attach any file to an EXE, not just DLLs:

PEBundle http://www.bitsum.com/
EXE Bundle http://www.webtoolmaster.com/
Thinstall http://thinstall.com/
PGWare Alloy http://www.pgware.com/products/alloy/
Packer Molebox http://www.molebox.com/
PKLite Pro http://www.pkware.com/
Petite http://un4seen.com/petite/
PECompact2 http://www.bitsum.com/

etc.
