Yeah, solution is the name in VS for it. Workspace is maye a better name. Basically a file containing more than 1 project file (like a project + all it's libraries). The problems with configuration files are solved when typical settings for a user/machine are never inside project file settings. I know one IDE which for example saves the currently active project of a solution in the solution file. But that's something everyone is changing all the time and is really a user-specific setting. Sounds trivial but is really annoying in combination with version control systems.
