We use MPC to maintain .sln and .vcproj files, since the format of these files changes with each new version of Visual studio. The average GEL-user need not bother with this, since .bat files have been created to ease the use.

The use of MPC allows relatively easy creation of subsets of GEL. An example subset is created using MPC and the Perl script makefiles/CGLA.pl which deletes all non-CGLA source code from GEL.
