Experiment suggests that the include and lib directories can be specified within the project settings as ..\BuildDependencies\include and ..\BuildDependencies\lib. Can this be added to the VS2008 project?

The Wiki article recommends setting the BuildDependencies\include etc as global options in Tools/Options, however this is inconvenient when you keep several different builds of XBMC as you have to change the global settings each time you switch to a different build.

This isn't a big deal as I can make the changes manually after checking out a build, but it would be a time saver.

That's a limitation of VS2008. It's done in VS2010 though, thanks to the new 'property manager' and 'property sheets'. No need to setup any path.
Be aware that the VS2010 project is not kept as up-to-date as VS2008 though.

I was setting up a new devenv. and was thinking of testing vs2010 when I came across this post.

It's better then to stay with vs2008?

Sooner or later we'll switch to vs2010 but for dharma vs2008 will still be used. It really makes no difference to XBMC if you add the path the one or the other way.
