Could you expand on this a little bit? StandaloneSaving/Saved are only 
sent during a build, so I'm not sure how I'd use those to intercept a 
startup message.

Also, when do the externals actually load? If they load at startup 
before any messages are sent, then won't the externals already be done 
with before the stack receives the startup message?
