I have not had a chance to add files to vulcan, but in firebird2 adding 
new files to posix build is much easier then to windows.

For example, when I needed to add windows trusted authentication file, I 
had to add it and appropriate h-file to remote, remote-classic, fbembed 
and fbclient manually - i.e. 2 files at 4 places. In posix I always add 
one file to one appropriate place, and need not care about h-file 
dependencies at all - all the rest is done by build system. I know that 
for vulcan this will probably reduce to 2 places - remote and fbclient. 
But anyway this is manual work during which it's easy to be mistaken.

Therefore I suggest to think twice before choosing M$ VS gui as a base 
for fb3 builds for all platforms. Carefully written makefiles are much 
easier in support.
