That would work too, thank you. But in the end I found a different
solution. I made my project a "Managed Make" project and extended the
IManagedBuilderMakefileGenerator. In the extended class, I turned the
*generateMakefiles methods to call my prebuild script, which created
the Makefiles, and had the getBuildWorkingDir return the directory
where the Makefile was generated.

I would still prefer that I could just specify the prebuild command in
the plugins.xml file, but I guess that is not possible right now. But
I'm wondering if the CDT developers would be interested in a patch
that allowed this. If yes, then I could try creating it. There is
already a bug report requesting for it.
