Not really interested in a full SCCS system even though I do have Visual
SourceSafe (not installed).

Parsing the project file was exactly what CopyProjectLite did and was perfect
for my needs as it only copied files that I am actually using as apposed to the
junk modules you tend to collect sometimes. Which is why a batch file method is
not good for me. 

Aivosto has such a tool but it is a little rich for me at $79 for what it does.
