You know AI creation is a bit different, I guess this is not self-explanatory.
Sometimes all 8 copies will differ for testing or bug-hunting purposes for
example. What you are suggesting may make perfect sense to you, because you are
judging based on your own experience, my experience tells me it will be
arsy-versy. Even with make it is more convenient for me to work on 1 master
copy of AI files, then copy-paste the result into mod folder (and trash other
copies which are not necessarily the same) and simply let Make replicate them,
not vice-versa.

It would have been as simple as that if I could imaging you could forget I'm a
Windows and MSVC user, but since I know you are aware of this I thought you
were not understanding something else, what exactly I didn't know.
