Win standalone question

[Richard Gaskin]

LC's standalone settings are removed at build time.  Not sure why, as 
they contain useful info like versions numbers.

I use a custom prop in my mainstack for version and build numbers, with 
a setProp handler that updates the SB settings in sync with it when it 
changes.
