Seems to work well. An advantage is that there's nothing to update when OSG adds
new headers. The disadvantage is that it can only be set to one language, so if
the user was using that setting for something else (unlikely) it'll have to be
changed.

Anyways, I can add a note to the README in the VisualStudio directory to that
effect, and you can remove the .reg files from the SVN and ignore this
submission. Funny thing is, I had added a note about that setting to the
http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Support/PlatformSpecifics/VisualStudio
page, but totally forgot about it. :-) I guess I was really itching to do some
perl...
