<So, does a project allow you to specify a build program? is this like your 
"wizard" or "style"? Does this program run in the "associated" library? Are 
these wizards part of TurnOver or of WDSC?

This is my understanding of iSeries projects so far:

The "associated library" is only significant if the "build style" makes use 
of it.

WDSC comes out of the box with 2 build styles, "Program" and "Command".

Both of the Program and Command build styles push your source changes back 
to the project's associated library.  But the source can be pulled into the 
project from any source library on the iSeries.

The build style that your project uses is an iSeries project property.  From 
the project's build style property page you also enter any configuration 
information that the build style happens to require.

The Program build style configuration requires that you provide a program 
that will be called when you do a build.  The Command style requires that 
you provide a command that will be executed.  These programs and/or commands 
do not come out of the box.  They must be provided by you and what they do 
is up to you.

Unless you are willing to write your own plugin to contribute your own build 
style, this pretty much defines the limits of an iSeries project's 
flexibility.  And, as someone mentioned earlier, 3rd party vendors have 
apparently already provided build styles geared towards their own CM 
solutions.
