It should be possible to do that.

By the way, I'm thinking about a feature related to that problem 
(running commands to manage a project).

I imagine some "Gambas project configuration files" located in the 
parent directories of a project.

These configuration files will be able to:

- Define some variables.

- Define some visual things for the IDE, to help make the difference 
between projects.

- Run some shell commands in some context (before/after having compiled 
the project, making the executable, and so on...).

- Associate a command with a new menu entry in the IDE, in some 
pre-defined places.

- ... (add your own ideas here).

This sort of "meta" configuration file will allow to define the way you 
manage one project, or a group of projects. Especially how to deploy it 
for example. And so automatically, and once. No need to manually run 
anything each time you make the executable.

I see one problem: if you share your project, you don't share the meta 
configuration files, and so the project may be incomplete (depending of 
what the commands really do).

What do people think about that?
