OK, this sounds like a useful set-up. I tried it briefly, and it seems to work. 
The file list (that I have open on the side instead of tabs) are a bit long-
ish, but it will probably work. 
Not sure why I did not think of this setup myself - probably partly because of 
the seemingly limited build menu variations was part of steering away from it. 
But if that can be extended like you say, it is actuall ideal! :)

Thanks for giving some suggestions, and also hinting about meson/ninja, sounds 
interesting to keep an eye for in the future!


Thanks a lot,
