Well, yes, that's true if you have "search for required inclusions when
saving the standalone application" selected.

However, you cannot set that and at the same time manually select
libraries in the section below, as those two mechanisms are XOR options.

Which is annoying, if you need the datagrid as well as several other
libs that are manually selectable, e.g. database, printing, xml; then
you have to fudge one or the other to get everything included.

I wonder, does anyone know, is there some difference between the
datagrid and the other libraries that can be manually included for
selection that rules out adding it to that list, or could it be? Should
it be?
