This is pasted from the readme.txt for my DWT app:

---
Versions 0.174 to 1.0 should work.
Versions 1.001 to 1.006 do not work properly with DWT apps.
Version 1.007 through 1.010 works.
Versions 1.011 and 1.012 do not work.

Maybe I'm taking the wrong approach to this.  But I don't know how I 
could realistically avoid it.  Being able to replace it with 'A beta 
compiler version might not be able to build this project' would be nice.
