Throw away the idea of shipping indivudal .vcproj files. Today I had to install three external libs and every one had a whole bunch of Makefiles (cygwin, gnu, osx, sun, ...) and .vcproj - Files (vs6, vs7, vs8 - I wonder if they don't support vs9 ;) ). This looks very professional and I won't think about the administration effort to keep all of them up-to-date. Oh, and because they don't support out-of-source builds they also shipped a clean.bat file to clean up all the files created by vs...
A single CMakeLists.txt would make all the above superflous. Nobody forces you to use CMake - just write and maintain your .vcproj by your own ;) Christian -- Psst!
