RE: Multiple workflows per VS project
Also something to watch out for is SPSource which is on CodePlex http://www.codeplex.com/spsource It will reverse engineer Content Types, Site Columns, Modules and ListTemplates and is compatible with VSeWSS, WSPBuilder and STSDev. I am on the dev team and looking at reverse engineering Workflows for the next major release.

If I add new workflows to the project, it doesn't create a workflow.xml for each one, so I can create new ones manually, each named the same as the workflows(.xml), but VS doesn't let you rename the original workflow.xml (right-click, no rename/delete). My additional element manifests don't seem to be included in the deploy either, resulting in a file not found error. This kind of suggests that you're supposed to leave it as is, even though you can change the element manifest filename reference in feature.xml. Would I have to create one project per workflow? Then I'd have 3 different features to activate in the portal, when really they're all part of the same solution. Thoughts/Ideas?

Actually, my WSP view is completely empty. I thought it was some kind of fault but then I wasn't sure if workflows were packaged that way; so they definitely are? I have no files listed in the WSP view.. I read somewhere you need to do a release build to build the WSP first, which I've done, but no dice, nada. Sorry, not sure what you mean you say pkg folder - this is in the Solution Explorer? Thanks for your help.

Click the 'Show hidden files' button in VS, then include the pkg folder into your project (this is the one it generates). You should be able to add to/manipulate this, then go into your WSP view and hit the refresh button - play around with it.

I have 3 sequential workflows to create which I was expecting to add to the same project, deploy as a single assembly in a feature and away I go.
