auto-generate some of the non-CVS/non-release projects, too

Still don't understand why drupal_execute() isn't hitting the full form in all its glory

it is. that may have been one of the toughest problems to track down i've ever seen. i'll try to explain what's happening here...

function project_use_taxonomy() {
  return module_exists('taxonomy') && taxonomy_get_tree(_project_get_vid());
}

the code above is inherently flawed. _project_get_vid() automagically creates the vocabs if they don't exist, then when taxonomy_get_tree() is called immediately after, it caches the *empty* tree for the newly created vocab (static $children). any future calls to project_use_taxonomy() in the same page load will be FALSE -- like if (project_use_taxonomy() && $node->project_type) {, which is in _project_save_taxonomy(), which is called from project_project_nodeapi().

the fun all starts in devel_enable(), which calls _block_rehash(), which then eventually calls hook_block(), menu_block() fires up a _menu_build(), which gets you to project_menu($may_cache) -- and there's the first call to project_use_taxonomy() -- whew!

i'll leave it to you to file a bug against project module, since i'm not really sure how you want to handle it...

this code will need to be cleaned up once that bug is fixed.

that sounds like fun bug! you can remove that block_rehash() call from devel if you wish. i don't think it does anythng anymore.

Here's a reroll to eliminate offset.

I also added the documentation project to the array.

I tested this and it seems to work well. I also modified the comment about why drupal_execute() isn't fully effective here.
