Hello,

I am looking at adding one or more custom wizard pages to the C/C++
project creation wizard.  What I want these added pages to do is examine
and possibly modify some of the compiler and linker options, that are
normally available under the "Advanced Settings->Settings" dialog.

Is it a reasonable thing to want to do, or does it break some design rule?

This is the sort of thing the template engine can do easily.  It can generate wizard pages, and automatically set options during project creation for all thing you've requested, you may only need to write some XML:

There are processTypes defined for doing a number of useful things, including creating source direcotires, settings options, etc

ctrl-T on org.eclipse.cdt.core.templateengine.process.ProcessRunner  to see what's available built-in to CDT.

Cheers,
