RE: [cdt-dev] debug - active build configuration changes during launch

["Schaefer, Doug" <Doug.Schaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For 6.0, I want to add configuration to the CModel. A project can have
different active configurations for different purposes. We already have
the concept of separate ones for build and indexing. If we want a
separate one for launching, I think we can do that.

Doug.
