If VSS and WinZip can do something to a file to make sure it's committed to disk, then can't we? There's got to be some file system operation (move/rename/read/write, whatever) that forces the file to be written. Once we peg what it is, we can add code to a project hook to make sure that all modified files undergo this operation.
