The Filler game code generation issue was verified on ColdFire
mailing list by Vincent.

Verified, programs with object files common with other programs
get now rebuilt.

Thanks, this is much appreciated! :-)


After selecting a project file, I've seen:

* With AHCCST.PRG, a crash when trying to build something.

* With AHCC.PRG, it not finding the selected project file
  and complaining about a garbage file name ("project: unknown
  file suffix "<drive>:\<dir>\<garbage>").

I wasn't able to reproduce these, but I guess the new version may
have some memory corruption issue related to file selection... :-/


First time AHCC opens file selector on non-existing drive (based on what's
in default .cfg file I guess), after which TOS switches to an existing
drive.  This causes TOS file selector to lose the extension.

This is a really trivial issue, but maybe if the drive doesn't exist,
AHCC could just ask for PRJ files in boot drive root.

Alternatively, when building AHCC, you might package versions of
the config files that point to hello.prj files on C:\ root.  :-)

PS. The source package seems to contain also binaries for some
of the example programs (hello & wormen), is this intended?
