PS: There is this bug (more of a feature request) open that would allow you to manually provide all the necessary information that the Binder (light.exe) gets by building: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3166824&group_id=105970&atid=642714
There is a lot of data gathered so it isn't much fun to type by hand. Anyway, it's an area that will get more attention given the discussion going about.
