Yes, you can make application which in the same time will work with some
LOCAL and some remote dbs located on (may be different) Valentina Servers

I think this macro here just to follow rules.
I believe we never try disable it.

No need for separate libraries!

All our plugins work as next:

                -> vkernel.dll
    plugin         
                -> vclient.dll

Only difference is in Init/Shutdown and Vdatabase constructor.

IF you want app to work with local and remote you do:

        ValentinaInit( cache )     -- first
        ValentinaInitC()           -- second
            7
