Why should they? What good would it do you? A compiler is for
compiling programs, not for organizing your project management. That's
what 'make' and other tools are for.

If you *really* want it that badly, you're always free to add support
for this to GNU cpp yourself. You have the source, and the rights to
do it. Nothing gets done by complaining, but only by someone actually
*doing* it.

Sorry, but that's simply nonsense. People use Borland mainly because
they're used to it, or because they like its IDE better than MSVC.
