Bug in Framework Assistant

One tool that I like to use is Jim Brown's Framework Assistant. It is very useful in determining which modules are being used so I can reduce the size of the exe by eliminating those which are not used. However, there is a bug. Imagine my surprise when, after using Framework, my exe file size actually increased!

Turns out, I was using a command that was similar to one used in a third party mod, so FA included that mod in my framework. Since the mod was larger than what was being taken out, it resulted in a larger exe.

I would consider this a bug as FA shouldn't scan third party modules unless it is already being imported in the source.

For those of you who are using Framework Assistant, until this gets fixed, be sure to look over the Imports to make sure no unwanted third party modules are being loaded.
