Thanks, that works like a charm :)

Now I have another problem. When I do 'clean' it cleans even the library which 
is not what I've intended. Is there a way to stop the 'clean recursion'? The 
MSVC IDE has two cleans - a recursive and 'clean selection only' that cleans 
just the selected target but not its dependencies.

Thanks.
