[Bf-committers] Re: msvcgen: Autogeneration of Visual Studio projectfiles (all versions)

The system works great, and just like now you have the projectfile checked 
into cvs. 

Basically, instead of manually making all the changes for each version 
(6/7/7.1/8) you run 'jam msvcgen' and it creates updated projectfiles. 

Then you simply commit the change for ALL versions.
