OK, so let's keep the exception to the rule :).

BTW, I try to avoid those copies in the VC7 build. Copying DLL implies a 
tracking/versioning nightmare IMHO, so here I maintain a single 
repository (lib7) with the latest build, which can be shared across the 
network for other developers/graphists for instance. When I want to make 
a release, I simply copy this folder and append a version blurb to its 
name. Users play with their PATH and max/plugin.ini, this being 
hopefully efficient with NT/2k/XP. There are more details in this little 
doc :

I know this is not compatible with your current production line, but I
had also to find a way to remove the 'C:\3dsmax3_1' hardcoded paths and 
more generally to make NeL CVS independent from any environment (OS, 
tools, versions, etc).

Feedback (non-Nevrax people too!) warmly welcome.
