Liming,

Thanks. I think it may be present in a few more sections. I got distracted trying to figure out what  BNF was saying and I forgot that there would be no way to implement what I was trying to do in the current build system. 

Thanks,

It can't be changed to other type in build time. If you expect the library to be linked to the different type driver with the different sources, you may create two version INF files to include the different source files.
