I was recently trying to make use of the new managed build system 'shared 
options' support and I came to understand it only applies at the project 
level.  That is, if I add an option category and an option to a toolchain, 
they only appear in the ui in the project properties.  They are not available 
in the property pages for a file level resource.

We have a case with our compiler where an option that could be designed as a 
shared option between the compile step and link step, might only be enabled 
for one or a few source files.  If the option were enabled for any source 
file, we would then enable it for the link step.  The shared option approach
cannot be used presently for this option since shared options are not 
displayed in the UI for individual files.

We would like to suggest investigating the possibility of applying shared 
options at the resource level for CDT 3.0.1.  It would also seem to be a good 
idea to have the resource filter attribute on the option work accordingly as 
well.

Thanks,
