generated by cmake and I'd loath to to use them.

I can't speak for Xcode but I've been using the VS projects for a while now and they are great. I've written a couple of quality-of-life functions to help group source code into the folders. Check it out: http://i.imgur.com/dBWLuUn.png

Can you be more specific about what issues you have with generated VS projects? Perhaps they are easily addressed.

One of the issues that I've seen is that the generated project files are just shells around cmake invocations of all kinds. As opposed to direct project declarations. Which means that they are susceptible to parallel build bugs in cmake and make it awkward to deal with them past just building. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
