Back in the days of EuDesigner by Brian Jackson, I wrote a little utility to
convert from a win32lib IDE .prj file to a EuDesigner .eup file.  I
basically copied a bunch of code from the IDE and EuDesigner to do most of
the work for me.  You could take a similar approach, but map an .exw file to
a .prj file.  I attached the file.  It worked fine, except that EuDesigner
couldn't handle multiple windows, so it choked on multiple window projects
(which originally inspired me to break up the code for each window into
separate files--and then delete the WinMain() that was inserted).

Then there could be an 'import' feature within the IDE.  I'd think that it
would be best to hide this from the user, and simply automatically convert
an .exw file when opened.

Also, support for .ew files (designed to be includes) might be a good idea.
The only real difference should be that WinMain() isn't tacked onto the end
of it.

Ooh, and maybe multiple files, where you've got a .prj that actually points
to other .prx/.prw files or something that actually handle the code.  Then
we could work with includes directly within the project (a la <gasp> VC++ or
Visual Interdev--and probably lots others, too).  Hmmm, time to finally
integrate MDI support into win32lib?
