Summary: BuildApplication includes many unneeded modules

Initial Comment:
I have a simple application to calculate MD5 sums for Macintosh 
files with resource forks. BuildApplication includes a whole raft of 
modules, such as httplib, that seem to be unrelated to my 
application. My imports are:

import sys, os
import md5
import EasyDialogs
import MacOS
import Carbon.File as macfs

Apologies if this is a known limitation, but I didn't see it mentioned 
anywhere.

BuildApplication includes all modules that could possibly be needed by 
recursively inspecting all modules for their imports.In your case I guess 
EasyDialogs or os somehow indirectly caused httplib to be included.

This process can be controlled (you can forcibly include or exclude 
modules) by adding :macfreeze: directives to your source code, but this 
is not documented, really.

Look in :Mac:Tools:macfreeze for the code that does it, you may be able 
to infer how it is done.
