If we find nothing better, we'll have to go with that one, as it 
apparently solves a problem, even if I find the solution ugly.

Drawbacks compared to the existing patch:
     - No per-file granularity, i.e. the deploy step will not raise an 
error even if a file could not be deployed that you actually need on the 
device.
     - The check box would need to be present in every deploy step that 
is supposed to support this feature.
I still like it better, though, as it it less intrusive.

Does this mean that people would need to manually add their application 
into the text file? That would probably be annoying.
