An useful thing could then be an "exporter" that saves all the project files w/ the components used in a single file that could be sent. Standard libraries could be left out to reduce the size, but only as long as there won't be changes in them. Probably better to include standard parts too and have a completely self-contained file, to be sure future upgrades won't break existing projects.
Saving the parts used w/ every schematic or board is IMHO not really useful and wastes a lot of resources (disk, ram, cpu time). But please always keep multi-user systems in mind: generally speaking it's a really bad idea to let the users write to the standard libraries. Every user should only modify his files. Even M$ understood that with Vista. Making "libraries shared between users" is non something KiCAD should do. The SO is there to enforce those things (more or less). BYtE, Diego.
