I created a custom build rule for a certain file extension.
The build tool gets invoked properly for the files in my
project with that extension.

The problem is, it *always* gets invoked - even if I don't
change the file. Has anyone run into this issue?

I read up on the bison/flex sample from MSDN and that
project seems to only invoke the tool when the input file
is changed.

This is in VS2005.

did you try to use the addin wizard extension facility ?
