Sorry, but no.
- VS.NET does _not_ compile files just because they're in your project.
Give it another extension (like TSVN does with the version.h file, the
template is called version.in).
- If you use the revision number in more than one file, you're not using
it right. Every programming language knows includes. So have *one* file
with the revision number in it, and include that wherever you need it.

Just keep the file which you have SubWCRev process for you small. Only
keep the defines (or whatever you do with the keywords) in that file,
nothing else.

You can easily put it in the project.

If you add SubWCRev to the pre-build step, then VS.NET won't complain
about missing files.
