You could break this into separate stack files, but if you have an
architecture dependent on direct script access there's probably a less
volatile solution.

In our WebMerge product, for example, I need a list of handlers in one of my
libraries.  Instead of relying on direct script access I added a function to
my stripNship handler (a master reset called just before I build a
standalone) which reads the scripts, extracts the handler names, stores
those in a custom property, and saves the stack file.
