Being willing to include Wee but not the include file it needs seems a bit weird.
It isn't going to matter. As long as you keep it available for those who need it, what is the benefit to including this with the distribution?

The benefit, it seems to me, would be to avoid reviews which make fun of Euphoria's 1980-style editor. And in addition, to make getting started easier for people who are trying Eu for the first time. Wee is a good, fairly complex, app built with Euphoria, and it's intuitive to use. IOW, it works just like other programs they may have used. It should work 'right out of the box' for people who have never used Eu, without the hassle of downloading anything else, and without having to set up directories, etc.
This would at least give the impression that we know what we are doing :)
If Wee is going to be included as a part of the Eu download, it would probably be a good idea to comment and document the code a bit more, so people could use it as an example.
Edit: and, let's face it - there's never going to be another Eu-specific editor, or any real support from any of the other existing editors. Wee is fine as it is, and - here's a hint - it's one we can modify/enhance/fix ourselves.
