I'd say that the set of defined build goals, named sets etc should be 
persisted with the project, but the current selection lives in the 
workspace. If Albert always works on the Win32 port (goal) of a project 
and Bob always works on the Linux port, they don't want CVS syncs to be 
changing build goals all the time.

One other thing I've been wondering about is linking the default build 
goal, default run app and default debug app somehow - if I've just built 
foo.exe, it could be argued that clicking Debug should debug foo.exe, 
even if the last debugged app was bar.exe. Not sure about this though; 
it would mean tying build goals to binaries, and throwing out that layer 
of indirection could lose a fair amount of flexibility.
