Supporting more options for the project files is just a matter of
updating the flag->option mapping table. If we can find out what
options they want we can add them.
Hooking into the generated projects can be suppressed. This may be
another case of someone expecting the generated projects to be
redistributable.
The "litter" comment is clearly from someone not using an out-of-source
build.
