Before going hog-wild replacing everything with EZT templates, I wanted to
ask the list about it. My idea was to use the templates for the .dsp files,
.dsw files, and anything else where there is a good chunk of boilerplate
that is needed.
(note that templating doesn't apply the same to the Unix makefiles cuz
Makefile.in has all the "boilerplate" and build-outputs.mk is just the real
barebones data)
The advantage that I see is that we're moving from a procedural to a
declarative approach for the output files. Theoretically :-), the templates
are easier to edit. Also note that I've set the template to the right line
endings (altho it seems the output doesn't have it, so I gotta figure out
where they got lost).
After looking at the XML-ish nastiness in gen_vcnet_vcproj.py, I'd much
rather swap out that gunk for a simple template.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
