Actually, I already stole your setup.h code.  :-)  It's just that I'm 
using it in 5 different projects so far, and I'd like to make a 
rule/target that encapsulates all that to make it simpler and keep my 
projects easier to read.  I'm going to go ahead with that and change it 
to use the rule if I ever get it written.

Thanks,
