This is right, you almost correct have catch reality.
See my prev window about why and how ...

Yes, Revolution itself CAN do this.

SMALL Externals also can I think.

But Valentina DB is quite big. It is about 10MB for WIN and Linux, and about
20MB for MAC (double because PPC + Intel).

Yes, SqlLite is much smaller, on the other hand, compared by power DB, e.g.
MySQL starts archives from 50-60MB for single platform. MS SQL from
80-100Mb.

See above why.

No problems :)

You can see and will see that we accept any comments, critic and ideas with
happy. We all together should build success :-)

Yes, I agree that we should add to Deployment pages link to new FAQ about
build on foreign platform...

Let me know if you have more questions.

Again, with some efforts, if you understand how Revolution manages
externals, you can setup own MAC to be able build WIN apps.

And I think it is possible add bash/rev scripts to copy required files into
required places ...

After this build should be as simple as single command in REV IDE.
