Question: What is the significance of selecting the project configuration
when using C++ Builder's Visual C++ project conversion tool?
Answer: Visual C++ allows the user to save multiple compiler options
within a project, while Borland C++ Builder does not.
The user must pick a single build type to be converted to. The important
thing for the user to decide is where they want to start once the conversion
has been made. It is not required that one must reconvert the original
project in order to to compile in another configuration. The configurations
can be made from Builder, upon the converted project.
When converting complex projects, the conversion tool might sight errors,
but those errors are in reference to the conversion tool running into settings
that C++ Builder doesn't support. The conversion still executes successfully
in the event of errors; the unsupported options are simply ignored.
