The standard IDL library has a file selection widget routine, pickfile().
You can use it from any application (widget or non-widget). You don't
need to copy anything, just make sure the standard IDL library directory is
in your IDL path. If there are some special routines in the Widget Builder
which are not library routines, you could copy those into other directories in
your IDL path.
