Frank: you could just do an include file with all the path options, and you just change this file... That's how I do almost every thing (compiler options and defines in a separate "config file" which I include everywhere).

Well, I could, but I think that's a bad idea! Things like paths do not belong into the source since they're system dependent. (I know that in C it's common to have to edit some source files or makefiles before compiling, but that's one of the many things I dislike about C.) For compiler options that affect the source (most of them), it's ok for me to put them into the source, but path options I'd like to see in system dependent things like scripts, aliases and/or environment variables...
