It would be quite a huge waste of effort if hbide would reinvent the whole feature set of hbmk2.
IMO it should be able to create .hbp files for each project on the fly (from the file lists and options set on the GUI) and call hbmk2 to do this job. Overall I think .xbp file compatibility is unimportant, but of course hbide could use something similar to store the file list and options. Ideally it should store these in .hbp files. This will need a hbmk2 compatible option parser.
