At the risk of derailing the OP's topic, I have a file like that. Visual
Studio stores its conditional compilation symbols for C# projects in the
.suo file. I have a lot of projects that require certain conditional
compilation symbols to work properly, so I consider the definitions to be
part of the project, not the individual users/working copy's environmental
settings. So I version the .suo file. Then, every time I compile, VS touches
and changes the .suo file, leaving me having to either revert or
unnecessarily commit it. FWIW I use standard integrated building (whatever
that's called), not nant or anything.

The real solution would be to convince Microsoft not to store those symbols
there, or have another place to define them that is more traditionally part
of the project. But it's been the way it is for about 10 years, so I doubt
anything is going to change to suit me.

Can anyone offer any more creative solutions? Is there a way in VS to define
these symbols in code somewhere and still have them apply globally? Sorry, I
realise this is halfway off topic.
