I think you would be better off managing the resource file so you can have seperate builds. Very few software developers like to have their binaries from a make altered by "branding" software. Also, there are times when you localize, dialogs need to be re-laid our due to size of text and there are also social and political issues where you don't want the same functionality per localization. This is a good first release but definately "not there" yet. Good luck with this product.
