Until a time where it can get wrapped into the fltk releases,
the dnd demo lives on over here on my cheat page, as well as the
newsgroup:

..or, it can just be added to the few build environments,
and be posted as a 'known bug' against the release, to be fixed
at a later time ;)

I might be willing to assist with this.
Feel free to move this part of the message over to fltk.developers.
What should the tool do exactly? Is it just a matter of using
a few template vcproj files (eg. separate ones for plain fltk,
fltk_images, fltk_opengl, and combos thereof), and have the tool
simply do a "search/replace" on parts of the template to create
a new project file with app's names and needed libs into the file?
eg:
make_vcproj -template fltk.vcproj dnd.c dnd.h > dnd.vcproj
I'm pretty handy at writing text manipulation tools,
so if this can be done in perl/bash/awk/c++ or whatever,
let me know and I can take a stab at it.
I assume that this tool wouldn't necessarily need to be run
as part of the user's builds, but rather, as part of the distro
building process, which I imagine is done on a unix platform,
and can therefore be safely written in something like perl
as opposed to c++.
Just spec it out for me as if you were hiring a third party
to write it for you.
As long as the files are ascii text (and vcproj appear to be),
assuming their format doesn't change much, it probably wouldn't
be too hard.
I figure Mike might want to weigh in on this too.
