I'm fairly sure this would be easy enough for MSVS because of its
XML nature. In fact, I did things the opposite way (converted MSVS
XML -> Bakefile) when I first started adding in the wx port, so
that we kept up-to-date with any changes to the common files. (As a
side effect of this, the wx port files are grouped by category
rather than just being a long list.) The tricky part AFAICT would
be XCode, though, because even if there is a scripted solution for
this, it would probably need to be run on a Mac where we have
access to AppleScript or some other scripting tool that can read
and make changes to XCode projects... (Bakefile can write XCode
project files, but it can't read them in.)
Though still, even if we couldn't automatically update the XCode
Project file in all cases, we'd be left with making the same change
at most twice, as I think every other build tool uses a plain text-
based or XML format. Also, if the script wasn't able to update the
XCode Project file for whatever reason, we could have it either
spit out a warning or even add a warning into the ChangeLog entry
that the XCode Project wasn't updated with the file change.
Another interesting point for CMake is its ability to generate XCode
project files (dunno if it is also able to generate MSVS files but
if they are XMLs, I don't see why it shouldn't/couldn't)
Why is that useful?
