I raised that as an option, yes. I'd prefer that fbembed stays in its little
local-machine, and local-machine *only*, sandbox, unless explicitly given
permission to roam the net by either the "fbembed_with_remote_client.dll"
approach, or ... (more below)

I understand you concerns, and I sure don't want to add more burden. Maybe
the idea I had about the y-valve compiled into fbembed could load
fbclient.dll (if present) and get its remote functionality from that one?
Wouldn't that satisfy both the security (and possibly privacy) concerns I
raised, while not adding any extra maintenance work?

It would also keep down the size, and dependencies, of fbembed for running
it by itself in scenarios where remote access is unwanted or unneeded.
