I haven't used MS VC++ (I used to use Delphi years ago), but I'd like
some improvements to make building with different options easier. I
don't think we'll add any Makefile generation support to the core of
Geany, but things like remembering the Build Custom commands would be
good, perhaps stored with the project.

(Also related is having a configurable Make command per project and per
filetype (e.g. using Bud for D) - this is on the TODO list.)
