Hi Doug,

A. You can distribute the library as a separate stack, which allows 
you to update the library in the future without having to build a new 
distribution, or

B. You can include the library as a substack within the stand-alone, 
which means the library can't get separated from the rest of the app 
or be viewed by the user.

If it's a general-purpose library of Transcript handlers, I wouldn't 
worry about optimizing a different library for each application. 
OTOH, if it's a library of .jpeg images, sounds, or other memory 
hogs, I would consider creating an optimized library sans unnecessary 
objects.

You may also work the other direction: create a clone of your general 
library and add to it resources specific to each standalone you 
create.
