<DIV><SPAN class=693253821-30112007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>It is
best to leave project-file creation up to individual users, in my
opinion. MS changes their IDEs and project-file formats more often than
most people change their underwear. The odds that any given open-source
project will actually compile without any tweaking are basically zero anyway, so
you might as well make the build steps as clear and obvious as
possible.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
