Code Libraries and Standalone Applications

Unless you never distribute your standalones, or have the libraries on
some generally accessible server, you are always going to have to
include them with every app. The advantage of using libraries is that
you only have to maintain them in one place. Multiple projects can
access the same library stacks and will pick up any changes to the
libraries every time a new standalone is built.
