Description
Hello.
I have more and more dependencies on system specific libraries (ex: pydantic). So my zipapp is only for one system + 1 interpreter version : linux64 Python 3.10 for instance.
How can I create a multiple interpreter zipapp (at least for Linux a single zipapp for Python 3.9-3.12 for instance )?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how shiv builds and launches zipapps, then determine whether one archive can support Python 3.9–3.12 and system-specific dependencies; done would be a documented, tested approach for producing and running such an archive.
