.lvproj mutates on platform migration

[ensegre]

These days I'm ping-ponging my ongoing project source tree between a development linux system and a test window system, and there is a minor issue which buggers me. The lvproj file is transmutated in a few respects every time it is read by the other platform, and this may generate unnecessary diffs. Usually negligible, as at each commit I typically anyway induce many other changes, though. Looking into, I see:

• a whole group of items within "Dependencies" is replaced by another one. Where linux has
  

  <Item Name="System Exec.vi" Type="VI" URL="/<vilib>/Platform/system.llb/System Exec.vi"/>
  <Item Name="Get Web Browser Path.vi" Type="VI" URL="/<vilib>/Platform/browser.llb/Get Web Browser Path.vi"/>
  <Item Name="Get System Web Browser.vi" Type="VI" URL="/<vilib>/Platform/browser.llb/Get System Web Browser.vi"/>
  <Item Name="Prompt Web Browser Path.vi" Type="VI" URL="/<vilib>/Platform/browser.llb/Prompt Web Browser Path.vi"/>
  <Item Name="Dflt Data Dir.vi" Type="VI" URL="/<vilib>/Utility/file.llb/Dflt Data Dir.vi"/>
  <Item Name="Create Directory Recursive.vi" Type="VI" URL="/<vilib>/Utility/libraryn.llb/Create Directory Recursive.vi"/>

  windows puts a longer block, which includes Registry VIs, ActiveX VIs, BMP VIs and more. I presume that at least some of these deps are due to a little use I make of Report VIs specifically.
• the entry line for item lvanlys.so is replaced by lines for lvanlys.dll, Advapi32.dll, kernel32.dll
• the three lines in the Build Specifications block
  

  <Property Name="Bld_supportedLanguageCount" Type="Int">1</Property>
  <Property Name="DestinationCount" Type="Int">2</Property>
  <Property Name="SourceCount" Type="Int">2</Property>

  are moved around at different points within the block.

Don't know if I'm going to make a big fuss about, just remarking...

Yes it does.

Extra info: Real-time targets have no front panels so UI events don't work.

Yeah, I've seen it mutate even without changing platforms. They are delicate.
