Actually, if we're going to go that way, I'd be inclined to check the
project file into the CVS tree, and have it be updated when
"Makefile.am" and company are updated, so that one only need do "cvs
checkout" to get an initial version of the tree and "cvs update" to
update the tree, as is the case with the "Makefile" project I set up (I
don't need to do *anything* other than "cvs update" and then fire up
VC++, select the right project, and do "Build ethereal.exe", to test
whether the code in the CVS tree builds).
