I noticed a change when I moved to 3.5. Formerly, before building the
standalones, I had to remove the dummy stack that contained the external
from memory, or it wouldn't work when I started the standalone. Now I don't
have to do that any more. I don't understand what's going on under the hood,
but that made building standalones easier.
