Vorbis dev - Apr 2008 - vs2005 project file output dir inconsistency

I just checked out trunk/vorbis to build the latest libvorbis, and 
noticed an inconsistency in the project settings.

For the two build configurations Debug and Release, we have as the 
Output Directory "$(SolutionDir)$(ConfigurationName)", and the 
Intermediate Directory "Debug". ("Release" for the Release
configuration)

However, for the two build configurations Release_SSE and Release_SSE2, 
Output Directory is "$(ConfigurationName)" and Intermediate Directory
is
also "$ConfigurationName)".

How come this is inconsistent?  If this is unintentional, which one 
should we use?  I'll be happy to supply a patch to fix this up.

Several people have worked on these files over time including me.
I didn't touch SSE stuff at all but changes other things so part of
the guilt if not all might be mine.

I agree we should be consistent. We also have hard-coded "debug"
and "release" strings here and there, at places where
$(ConfigurationName) might not work, but I'm not sure and don't
have time for "research" right now. In case you can have a look
before me please share your insights with me (and the list),
I will do the same. Thanks for bringing this topic up here.

I had a closer look now and (hopefully) fixed this for
libogg/libvorbis/vorbis-tools. For the patch on libvorbis
please see https://trac.xiph.org/changeset/14734 .

That will certainly please John Edwards.  Thanks for fixing the project files.
