It's the global/local/target generator breakdown that should
be followed for a new generator.  The VS generators have all
kinds of inheritance to support multiple versions.  Yours
shouldn't need that level of complexity.

It uses fragile logic like a "CurrentLocalGenerator" that
is not a good example of how to organize the generation
steps.  One day it may be refactored.
