Would you please elaborate on that? I like it very much that I can 
switch between Win32/Debug, WinCE/Debug and WinCE/Release configuration 
options with just two mouse clicks in the project at my old company.

If one is solely working on the compiler and not on GUI projects or 
projects that depend on packages this is less of an issue as - in my 
case - I'm always compiling with 2.6.2 (aka last release) and debug the 
compiler...

He means that users had requested to add the current build mode to the 
output path which seems to be the default in 1.1/1.2/1.3.
