RE: [cdt-dev] First gotcha with add/exclude children of FFS

["Schaefer, Doug" <Doug.Schaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sure we'll run into these types of problems with linked resources or
the EFS add files. I just think that linked resources are ahead of the
game since they've been around longer.

So any help would be appreciated. What we really have to look out for
are cases where we're assuming the physical file layout is the same as
the IResource hierarchy.

As well, I'm thinking a nicer UI around linked resources would be
helpful, possibly a menu at the top level, Add Linked File/Folder.
