Yes, that is correct. The old standard build project settings are 
persisted in the project metadata via the properties mechanism, just as 
they were before. This was done intentionally to minimize the impact of 
the changes I was making to add include and symbol information to the 
standard make. I did not want to use properties because I believe that in 
a larger project, this data may have to be shared between team members.
