Can now generate a project file for facilities library which almost does the right thing (everything except for putting outputs where I thought I asked it to) and project files for facilities apps which link but don't run, probably because PATH doesn't include directory of facilities.lib
Concerns in previous entry have not gone away. I have made some guesses about where build products should go and to what extent the two build systems share files, but
- Haven't quite implemented what I'm after
- Am not confident these guesses can be extrapolated to cover a realistic development installation with many packages and possibly an override directory.

Accomplished some clarification by adding more information to variant names. SCons variant now incorporates compiler (e.g. instead of redhat4-i686-32bit-Debug on Linux will now get redhat4-i686-32bit-gcc34-Debug; on Windows now get
XP-i386-32bit-vc90-Debug). Project files also include a name called the 'variant'. It now looks just like the SCons variant except it starts with Visual, e.g. Visual-vc90-Debug.
