So why not just > invert the meaning of STANDALONE? I guess (and that's really just a guess) today's "STANDALONE" refers to not relying on network connectivity at /build/ time. Whether the shipped application package is self-contained (i.e. has minimal reliance on libraries installed on the end user's system) depends mainly on what libraries get packaged with it (or linked statically, so that they're included anyway).
