And that is why, when in doubt, I clean and rebuild from scratch.

Yep.
But you shouldn't have to.

One thing I've noticed that could be an issue is files that are named the same thing, but are in different folders in the code tree, but get put in the same intermediate folder when build occurs.

This classifies as a minor annoyance more than anything but I had SEXP.cpp open in VC2005. I edited the file using an external program to change something. VC2005 detects the change as soon as I focus the window and asks me if I want to reload, which I do. I hit F5 to debug and instantly up comes FS2_open.
So wait. VC is smart enough to monitor any open files constantly and figure out that I've changed them to second I have but isn't smart enough to figure out that if I've changed a file I'll need to compile it! :rolleyes: :D
