I was using it for a while but went back to creating my own projects using the 
Makefile generator. I thought you might like feedback as to why I did so.

1) I found it a bit annoying that the source tree was not the default location 
and instead was a linked directory. To me it makes more sense to have the 
build directory linked as you are more likely to be editing stuff in your 
source directory than your build directory.

2) It's good that all the rules are setup using Makefiles but I'm not quite 
sure why the "build" buttons seem to be disabled in favour of this. It would 
be good to have them re-enabled or at least an option so, if you'd like the 
default Eclipse behaviour (build button = make all) then you can have it 
easily.

Otherwise it seemed to work fine for me, good work.
