You're welcome. Nice anecdote :-)

I know there are always different shades of grsy and everyone has to pick a
solution that works for him. We got fed up of unchecking config files and
don't version them anymore.

We are using Delphi 7 for our development and took the following approach:
- Don't version config or IDE created files (*.cfg, *.dof, *.dsk, *.rc,
*res)
- Store the release specific information in Nant buildfiles
- Every developer who checks out a project runs a Nant build once to check
if he can build correctly. This will create correct and up to date .res
files (always) and .dof files (if they don't exist yet) from templates in
his WC and give him the certainty that everything is set up correctly.
- After that he can change his IDE settings any way he likes for debugging
and screen layout without interfering with his colleagues.
- Debug versions can be built in the IDE or using NAnt
- Release versions are always built using NAnt

Cheers
