I disagree. We certainly include PCbuild/*.vcproj, and Tools/msi, which are also "distribution-specific". Likewise, we have plenty of OSX-specific files (including special-casing for specific releases thereof). I should qualify: We shouldn't distribute distribution-specific files for which we don't provide binaries.

Hmm. We have VS6, VS7, and VS8 project files, OS/2 makefiles, and configure.in has specifics for Solaris, even though we don't provide binaries for any of these. I don't think that's a useful principle to follow.

Regards, Martin
