RFR: Project files for Solaris Studio / NetBeans

[Mike Duigou]

It's nice to see more work in this area and I was very pleased to see how small the project is. The configurations.xml file with it's long file lists worries me though. Is there any way to generate this information dynamically? I worry that the file lists wills be chronically forgotten and thus inevitably stale.

Do you use this project mostly for editing or for building, testing and debugging as well?
