No, there isn't. If I could have multiple .rcp files in my project I'd 
be completely happy.

Ah, but I can't use PilRC 2.9p10-CW2 with Palm 8, can I? I can't use 
Palm 9 because it doesn't exist for the Mac. I need to continue working 
anyway and part of that is finding my own way out of Constructor and 
into multiple .rcp files.

Also, the RESETAUTOID keyword doesn't seem to be present in the main 
tree yet.

I really dislike the idea of using fake targets in this way. It feels 
like a clunky work-around. Easier to fix the problem at its source.

I looked at the archives; when #include .rcp was proposed, nobody could 
think of a reason why only supporting the .rcp extension was a 
limitation. Here's a good one. :)
