Kevin,

I have not changed the CopyLocal property from whatever it defaults to when adding a reference (usually true). I think that you'd run into more problems remembering to copy everything, because I think (although I'm not 100% certain) that this would affect things even when just running your app in the debugger after a compile. I recommend not messing with it (but I'm certainly no expert on tweaking this, so maybe someone else should offer an opinion also).
