avoiding full SYSLIB configuration in RDZ client for local

We have found that we must configure our SYSLIB definition in the RDZ
Property Group to resolve PL/1 %INCLUDE dependencies, even though the
"Refresh dependencies" action is able to download these copybooks to
the client.
We have the particular situation where the remote SYSLIB settings are
blank in the Property Group definitions, because our policy is to
configure SYSLIB in a single location, i.e. in our ELAXFPL1 remote
compile procedure. We want to configure as little as possible in the
RDZ client, and have as much as possible controlled centrally. Doing
so, both RDZ and non-RDZ developers will be served by a single change
to, in this case, SYSLIB concatenation.
However, it seems that, without SYSLIB configured in detail in the
Property Group, RDZ is unable to resolve the dependencies correctly.
We can only correct the IBM3841I INCLUDE FILE NOT FOUND error by
supplying the full SYSLIB in the property group.
Since RDZ is able to download the dependencies anyhow, we would expect
RDZ to be able to pass the correct syntax check as well.

    This requirement is in line with our product strategy and will be considered in the next two releases.
