FWIW and IMO, the maintenance problems with the Visual Studio project don't
really stem from the  uptodate-ness of the .vcproj files. It's more the
guess-work involved in creating a somewhat accurate config.h.

Anyway, given that Bo is interested in this, let's encourage him to make a
proper investigation. It'll benefit him anyway in his own projects and it may be
that the rest of us are being overly pessimistic...

It would be a useful exercise to create a list of all the #defines that are
actually used by LyX (and Boost which #includes our config.h ...) and see how to
test for these things and generate a config.h using the Scons add-ons that Bo
mentioned.

As an aside, I see (http://www.scons.org/faq.php#SS_3_3) that there's a
scons-local package that's meant to overcome the problem of distributing Scons
itself...

Butting out now,
Angus
