Yes, I use .vsprops for that purpose, so users can edit a macro value ie. specifying their own path to some dependency. Here is more complex example. In soci.vsprops I many *_DIR macros and values of these macros are supposed to be edited according user's environment: http://soci.cvs.sourceforge.net/soci/build/msvc80/ > I was thinking it would be clever to just try to run Ruby/Python > directly and ask the interpreters themselves where they are.

I think it should be possible to run it in prebuild actions, defined in .vcproj projects. I've not tried, but I suppose it's possible to assign values to new macro during prebuild. I can't check it ATM, but if you have problems, I'll play with it tonight.
