They only execute when I try to run the full project's BUILD_ALL.  If
there is an already transformed version in the tree, then I'll try to
grab that when building is finished.  I don't know exactly how the
equivalent of make install will go in Visual Studio, nor will I until
I am able to try it.  But, at worst, I can manually copy the required
files over to an installation directory.
