OK, that simplifies the problem loads.

My solution would be to create a start-up file, eg:

editor.exw:
include editexw.e
include editpdf.e
include mainedit.e
<end of editor.exw>

That's it, three (or so) lines, so it is easy to delete/recreate such
a file as & when additional components are downloaded.

You cannot use namespaces, each common routine (eg openFile) has to be
uniquely named (eg openExwFile), but you can build the required string
and use routine_id (if it does not return -1) to call it, or (if it
does return -1) prompt to download the required component.

Hope that helps,
