I disagree (for some small value of disagreement) that this burden is "rather light". Of course, it may not be a *big* problem, but every new IDE version requires that there are developers (plural, intentionally) that can deal with this specific IDE environment to update the project files for all changes in FLTK. If there is only one developer who can do it, then we are dependent on this single person to be available for updates. This problem can be seen for all Windows IDE projects, XCode, CMake, and even autoconf to some degree. Thus, keeping the base of IDE files as small as possible should be our goal, especially if we take into account that we are such a small team of active developers. BTW: I still don't know why we need a VisualC2010 project, since VC2010 can read VC2008 projects (admittedly it can't read the older VisualC6 project files). How "light" is this burden? Well, at least it requires a lot of double point'n'click'ing whenever we change options and add or remove files in our lib(s). Just my 2 (€)ct.
