The problem is that you really can select anything in the project tree to
use Build/Install/... A folder, a file or a target. You can also use the
buildset in the lower-part of the project tree and add arbitrary items from
the project to it. Then "Build" will always builds the buildset, not what
is selected. Changing that label all the time is not really good either as
that'll confuse users too.

We're still trying to figure out how to make all this work more smoothly on
the first-use - a major step will be automatic adding of opened projects to
the buildset (coming this weekend).
