No problem.

I do not know what these projects do in their custom buid step, but I
think that can be generalized and put into build.conf, so we can dump
the dsp's and vcproj's. But I would like to separate projects which
contain just one or two custom build steps and java related projects,
which have a custom build step for every source file. AFAIK the Swig
custom build steps fall in the first category.

I can look into it, but would like to commit the javahl related patch
first.
