Uploading .ino files without starting arduino.exe

But that doesn't upload the .ino file; it compiles and uploads the .cpp file that the Arduino IDE has generated. I suppose that this is easier to edit than a binary, but it requires a pretty huge directory full of pre-compiled libraries to work, as well.
If you're willing to work with that quantity of pre-compiled binaries, then you might as well put the bits you are interested in changing into a separate linkable entity that is less dependent on the full Arduino environment (note that it is pretty easy to make ANY file into a "linkable entity" using avr-objcopy...)

Correct and thanks for noticing.
