Compile time: reading value from a .ini file

[thelliez]

Trying to write a generic installer for different flavors of a product, I would like to have the name of the compiled installer to reflect few options (like a build number).

For example, instead of setup.exe, I would like something like setup_123.exe where 123 is a dynamic string available in a .ini file (built from an ant/cvs script).

If I could do some sort of ReadINIStr at compile time I would be set.

I guess I could try passing parameters to the compiler but it would not be as convenient.

Suggestions?
