I have to agree whole-heartedly here as well. All of the
developers working on this project need to help each other
out ... especially to ease the difference between platforms
and build environments. I think that having both a make
and MSVC environment is great. If it was (ie?) possible to
update the MSVC project file information then when new files
are added by "the makefile types" that information should
at least be attempted to be brought up to date in the project
files. Unfortunately these are generally binary (used to
be with CW anyway) so if you don't have it you don't have
it. A message to the list (like Mike has done) is the least
you can do. Thank-you Mike for the update ... a two line entry
in the Makefile is all that is needed to make it work.
