In general I can't argue w/ that, Jugoslav... :)

But, in defense of this alternative for such items, if one is building a
project in the IDE, it all gets handled there "automagically" so it
becomes essentially a part of the project definition. It has always
seemed to me that there is sort of an implicit implication that if one
is building a project in CVF using VS that wide-spread porting isn't a
priority.
