But the script could run whenever the Makefile is updated, even under Unix. Of course, there are chances of bitrotting, but it cannot be worse than having failures every time a builtin is added or otherwise a file is added. The main problem I see with the script is that the output would naturally be a .gitignore-d file, but it will not be for the reason you mention. > 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.
