I think that makes sense.  While re-writing the detection of all these 
projects, I noticed there is replication between several projects for 
the different targets.  The original design did not expect lots of very 
simplistic projects/target combinations.

There are two useful pieces to 'generic', one of which is the 
customizable configuration, and the other is an easy way to add new 
detection schemes.

Perhaps the configuration could be made as a base that other projects 
could pull in as needed.

I think this is an interesting set of ideas.  Something to tackle when 
we finish validating the current major change regarding the project 
detection.
