any of the busy msysGit developers to do something manual every once in a while.

I thought that a commit hook, was som= ething automatic (iff the busy developers
do commit something onc= e in a while). I guess I can even set this up very easily
(given= =A0push rights, otherwise it will involve manual labor again).

There was somebody who strongly favored CMake over any other solution= but
was not willing to maintain it in the long run (also, I have to admit that<= br> I have had quite a few problems with CMake, but maybe I am just pampered by projects that Just Compile...)

The cu= rrent way of generating a MSVC project is rather outdated, so the worst
thing that can happen is that you have a different build system whi= ch is not
maintained.=A0At least the CMake people will continue to improve on th= eir side.
