It is easily done from the MVC IDE. . Two checkboxes under the project
settings menu will build the files required. It is much more difficult to
do this from GNU Make files. MVC uses a separate program 'bscmake' to
generate the browse information. In my opinion, the benefits of such a
major change to the make system is minimal. (I've checked the browse info
under the IDE for me it provided minimal additional help)
