Re: [TSVN] frx files for VB6

Unfortunately, they sometimes are necessary. Depending on what controls are on the form, the IDE may save some information about
one or more of those controls in the FRX file. The compiler needs that info to compile the form. Sometimes the IDE creates an FRX
file, even when it's not needed. You can safely delete those types, but figuring out which ones are necessary and which aren't can
be...involved.

I haven't taken the time to figure out what controls actually require them to be present.
