In the schema that you use, this makes sense.

Most of my apps are not fetched online.  Even so, just 'start using' is 
fine when using stacks in external stack files.  This works in almost 
all cases.

However, some applications need to be monolithic.  I can't have 
associated files.

Well, if a system of stack files must be flattened to one, then 
libraries would be stack files.

I don't think I'm making one part clear.  I 'am' using external stack 
files for libraries.  That works.  I'm just not downloading them.  All 
that works.  (No doubt I'm doing something the hard way in referring to 
them, but that would be another issue.)

In addition, I want to make monolithic applications.
