Remember, Visual Studio project files are really MSBuild scripts in
disguise; I believe MSBuild supports the ability to create a piece of code
that can supply temporary files that should be used during a build. You
could provide a new file with the appropriate [assembly:] entry...
That said, if you have a system working, it might not be worth the
investment.
