Cannot build Marlin branch bugfix-2.0.x (bugfix-1.0.x was fine)

The new 2.0.x branch has a different structure compared to the 1.0.x branch. In the older branch, Marlin.ino is in the same directory level as all the source files - Marlin.ino does not contain any includes whatsoever, only comments.
In the current 2.0.x branch, they have a top-level directory that contains ./Marlin.ino, all the sources are in subdirectories thereof, so there is ./src/Marlin.cpp.
Visual Micro fails to pick up on the Marlin.cpp file.

Rename Malin.cpp to something else such as MarlinMain.cpp


nb: .Ino files in the \src folder are supported.

Is this a knowledgeable remark that I should forward to the Marlin developers as issue item, or "just" a restriction of VisualMicro? It seems that they are able to build with the Arduino IDE toolchain, you see.

Its a change we should make in visual micro. The arduino ide combines all .ino files into a project_name.ino.cpp but Visual Micro combines them into project_name.cpp.

In both IDE's you can use a file of same name as the special combined .cpp to override all .ino functionality.

In theory the developers of marlin should avoid marlin.cpp because it too easily conflicts with marlin.ino but it's not worth discussing, it would be better if visual micro changed the default.

I'm reporting that your recommendation, to rename Marlin.cpp to MarlinMain.cpp, works.
So please go ahead and do the single fix for this in VisualMicro, I'll keep an eye out for it and report if everything is OK then.
