I do not know the Metrowerks IDE, but to me MSVC is not really a good example

Ok, I will sit down and provide documentation.

With regard to the name. I am not religuos about it. I thought about using 
"requirements" but I dropped it as it does not fit if default-build is

targets are created by first copying the template.
