[DUG] A change in upgrade policy coming from Embarcadero

[Roger Kingaby]

No, it can't. You can get thuird part tools that will combine all the
necessary stuf from the frameworks and do it but I've only seen it working
on noddy "Hello World" programs.

We had exactly that problem in that we didn't want "the great unwashed"
being able to decompile our program. We also needed to be able to apply a
digital signature. Wee ended up using an obfuscator called "Dotfuscator" to
prevent the decompiling and the applied a digi sig to the resulting exe's
and dll's.

This is OK in a commercial environment but the cost is not insignificant, to
have been able to compile to native code would have solved the decompiling
problem for us.
