Jay, Yeah, the workaround to this problem is fairly straightforward. I'm new to PODS but was attracted to it because of the integrated debugging. When I first started doing PalmOS coding, the "visual" debugging capabilities were a bit limited, and coding and building projects using PRC Tools wasn't for those with a fear of the command line. I used Visual C++ as an IDE (by creating a "makefile project", where you supply the makefile and VC++ just executes it when you hit the build button) and that worked pretty well except for the lack of integrated debugging. I also like the fact that the resource editor is now a part of the development environment, and that I can let PODS manage my makefile instead of having to do that myself. And, as you point out, you can use as much of PODS as you find useful.
