I fail to see the point of this, only the module know what its
outputing, if we drop this in the driver script then the we have to
special case every module in the driver.

So you'd rather have about 8 different gen-*.py scripts in the toplevel
directory (once all the windows project file modes are done)?

Please note that some of the gen-*.py scripts for windows will consist of:

gen-msvc-dsp.py
gen-msvc-nmake.py
gen-mingw.py
gen-vcnet-vcproj.py
gen-vcnet-nmake.py
gen-bcpp-bpr.py
gen-bcpp-make.py

You'd rather have all those scripts sitting in the toplevel directory in
addition to gen-make.py, or would you rather have one gen-make.py script
that can invoke any of the above (and you can even pass it the "all"
parameter to generate everything)?
