     1 A few words about how and why the tool-kit's UIDs are defined here.
       
     2 
       
     3 The motivation for centrally defining all the tool-kit's UIDs in one place
       
     4 was to allow them all to be changed into the non-protected range, thereby
       
     5 allowing the tool-kit to be installed using a self-signed SIS file. Note,
       
     6 self-signed SIS files can only be used with UIDs in the non-protected range.
       
     7 
       
     8 Each platform that the tool-kit supports gets to decide which range of UIDs
       
     9 it will use. The platforms (i.e. sub-directories of \fshell/platforms)
       
    10 decide which range to use by whether they define FSHELL_PROTECTED_UIDS in their
       
    11 platform.mmh. This macro is picked up by common.mmh (which is #included by
       
    12 all .mmp files) and any .cpp or .rss (or similar) files that need it.
