[cdt-dev] Extending the build properties page

[Scott Michel <scottm@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm slowly building a plug-in to support the Digital Mars C/C++ compiler 
(formerly known as the Zortech and Symantec C/C++ compiler.) I'll be the 
first to admit that the build system and linker are primeval compare to 
GCC, but there are still a decent number of people out there using these 
tools. For $25 for the CDROM and a full-featured compiler, DMC isn't bad 
and can be pretty useful.

It looks like I need to extend the build property pages to support the 
linker's module definition file. It's a file that can be generated, but 
it doesn't fit cleanly into the tool structure because a tool's elements 
are used to build up a command line. I think what I'd need to do is add 
a property tab and extend off the ManagedBuildOptionBlock class, unless 
there really is a better way to achieve the same result?

How to derive off ManagedBuildOptionBlock or extend it?
