Good point.  That's one of those features you don't really
think about until you don't have them available :-/  Other
missing concepts are the ability to exclude files from a build,
and the ability to completely override default behavior and use
a set of custom build commands for a file.

One concern is that the pre-link, post-link, and custom build
steps would all require some interaction with the build
script generator, since each of these features will need to
operate in a way that allows the introduction of arbitrary
user-defined commands into a generated build script.

The various differences in build script generation (any, make,
cmake, qmake, etc.) might make this problematic, particularly
if you want to support the ability to export a build script
for an arbitrary build tool from any CDT project.
