           Summary: Visual Studio project files should support building
                    WebKit out-of-tree (shadow build)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: vestbo at webkit.org

The Visual Studio project files have a pre-build step where a tmp.cpp is
compiled to check for some compiler option. Since the pwd of the pre-build step
is within the WebKit source directory, the tmp.obj output file is placed within
the source dir too. This prevents building WebKit out-of-tree (from a read-only
tree) on windows.
