(I'm asking this with Visual Studio Web Applications in mind, but am interested in more high-concept answers) Recent topic of conversation in my life with colleagues and friends has been how best to structure source files within a project.

What we are looking for is: while compiling the same configuration, say Release|Win32, is there a way to only do the postbuild steps sometimes. Like, if I am on a dev machine do all the post-build steps or if I am on a build server then don't do them. Or is the only way to accomplish this is by implementing a new configuration? Commente...

We have several C++ libs that are used in applications and so many dependencies occur. Example problem: Lets say we have an application AppA that uses libB and libC. libC uses libD.
