Flip? What do you mean?

If you put the project file into cvs, then everybody gets the one that
was commited the last time. If you want everybody to have his own, either
don't put it in the cvs or don't commit modified versions.

Of course, the ultimate solution wrt project files would be not to put
redundant information into a project file which is in the Makefile.am
anyway. This would require a makefile parser (which would at the same
time solve the problem of importing projects). Not trivial to write, but
not too difficult. It's just that someone has to write it :-)
