This FOREACH_GEANYBUILDCMD_ENTRY is from a patch of mine what added the 
working dir field.

Looping though the enum GeanyBuildCmdEntries members saves a shitload of 
duplicated code, since often the very same stuff is done for the label, 
command and working dir field of the config dialog. The macro is just to 
make it more obvious. The loop is used 13 times alone.

The code is much more readable due to that IMO, and is actually much 
less error prone than not looping through the enum.

Finally, it doesn't use a variable i, it uses the variable you pass to it.

Best regards.
