I'm with Branko and Sander. The correct fix is to the generator. If adding a
neon.vcproj to the codebase is "sufficiently close", then great.

Right.

I think you've done a fantastic job, and also a great job of staying away
from the VS.Net stuff. "not your problem" :-)

I'm finally back in town for a couple weeks where I have a Windows box. I'll
review your last post of "things to do" for the VC6 build. I'm guessing,
though, that all those items got completed recently. Thus, I'll move along
to the VS.Net build. Sander sent me some stuff, and I'll also ask D.J.Heap
for his latest work to fold in.

[ gawd... it took me about five hours to set up a fresh VC6 on my box for
  building... I'm not looking forward to doing the same for VC.Net ]

I'm *so* fine with that. What's my current count? Six? Ten? :-)
