Ok, I tried to split the package into main UnitTest++ and two small UnitTest++[Posix|Win32].
Than I added them in package manager to UnitTest++ main package with "WHEN" on !WIN32 and WIN32.
And finally I changed the #include in sources to point to correct directories.

The result does work as expected, everything is ok.

The problem is it still does not *feel* right.
I will rather stick to renamed files to avoid duplicity, and have them all in one package.

I still think there should be a way to exclude/include files into build process, it feels very weak to have a developing tool where you can't easily force for example file named "generated_templates_with_wrong.extension" to compile as a .cpp.
Including the feature of excluding any .cpp file with "when" just like you can include/exclude whole package at this moment.

Or maybe I'm just too much used to power of Makefiles. Sad

P.S.
If I will ever look into adding "exclude when" for files ... will you use such patch, or you explicitly don't like the idea to have such feature?
