I second this. All my Valentina-based apps are currently compact and 
self contained. With v2 the only external libraries will be 
Valentina's! Why? Why can't I continue creating compact products? Why 
don't RB starts doing the same with plugins... this would be a 
nightmare.... BIG MISTAKE RUSLAN! VERY BIG! That is Mac not Windows. 
For external junk lets do Window...
