I think the killer argument against such a script (I actually though of that myself, but decided against it for that very reason) is that the result is to be used by Microsoft Visual Studio users, who do not typically have a scripting language, and who would not want to use it anyway. Of course, we could have a script that verifies that the .vcproj files contain reference the appropriate files (which it would know about by being called from the Makefile and being passed the file names), maybe even be able to edit the .vcproj file if it is missing some. Should not be too hard in Perl. Ciao, Dscho
