I thought that a commit hook, was something automatic (iff the busy
developers
do commit something once in a while). I guess I can even set this up very
easily
(given push rights, otherwise it will involve manual labor again).

The current way of generating a MSVC project is rather outdated, so the
worst
thing that can happen is that you have a different build system which is not
maintained. At least the CMake people will continue to improve on their
