Well, I'm already using a single checked out sand box for compiling both
mach-O and CFM, and the changes I did in the Makefile are the only changes I
had to do.

In order to copy resources, I end up doing what you partly do : Derez then
Rez again to the final location.

That would be awesome !

What is a feature request ? Is it a bug or a patch ? Is-it on SourceForge ?

Thanks,
Alex.
