What a great idea! Sounds like it's going to be a lot of work up front, but sounds like it could result in a lot of saved time in the long haul. This seems most helpful for people doing "standalone" builds of the Windows version of the Second Life viewer. Since Linden Lab developers typically use the non-standalone mode, it's not a project we would be an early adopter for, but I for one am excited to see this, and hope some folks on this list look into it more.
