switching "project contexts"

[Stefan Vollmar]

Hello,

apologies if this is an old topic and I have missed previous  
solutions. We are using Emacs to work on a number of C++ projects and  
are looking for a way to switch between "project contexts": similar to  
using VisualStudio, SunStudio or XCode project files, we would like to  
have a mechanism that sets up project-specific settings for etags,  
macros etc. There is probably a good way to do this with one ".el"  
file per project. I can imagine that this problem has been tackled by  
many developers with more Emacs experience than we have.

Many thanks in advance,
 Stefan
