Setting an extension file as systemfile in MXI

[Jerry Baker]

The DW MXI file format documentation specified that if your extension
replaces a default DW file, you should give it the systemfile attribute
so that the file can be replaced when your extension is uninstalled.
Woops. When you uninstall an extension that has such a file, Extension
Manager just leaves that file there. Now, with the other components of
the extension missing, and a core DW file still replaced, things are
sure to go awry.

I just want to check if there's something I'm missing.

I hope you don't mind my comment on this matter.

If you are going to use such implementation only by your self any eventual
proplem will involve only your DW.

But if you are going to share it with other users it is not a really
convenient operation to do. Instead you can just make a copy of the file,
rename it and make all the changes you like then use this new file and DW
will remain always clean.

I hope it can be useful
