It's not the externals that are treated differently between the IDE and a
standalone, it's the fact that in the IDE the application stack doesn't
receive a "startup" message. If you choose to use a "startup" handler to
construct an external name that varies from platform to platform (i.e.,
foo.dll vs. foo.bundle), it will only work in standalones.

However, if you're not making standalones (or are making one for only one
platform), then this isn't an issue, and you can merely set the externals
property of your main stack manually, using the single pathname appropriate
to the platform you're running on.
