	This #include <nosuchfile.h> yields no compiler error ... why not? but #include "nosuchfile.h" does error. Does VS/VM in the goofy Arduino scheme for headers and automatic function prototypes follow the traditional C conventions where brackets use system search paths and quotes search only the user space directories. I'm going nuts on why uint8_t et all as class method function params do not work without a typedef for uint8_t, but same project other files classes it does compile properly.

	Sorry not sure of the answer. Visual Micro just calls the respective toolchain to perform the compilation. You can see what it does when you click "Tools>Visual Micro>Verbose Messages". It's possible for you to grab the build command and run the same thing from a .bat file so this shows how little control Visual Micro has. You will also see the .cpp temp files in the build folder. There is no more to the build process that these physical files. I hope this helps in some way

	further... I think Arduino 1.0.x tells the compiler to ignore missing include files when using the <somefile.h> brackets. And it tells the compiler to error out if the same file name is in quotes "" In non-Arduino C, brackets:<> means search standard libraries' directories and quotes:"" means search in user's directory. I wonder.
