That will work.  However it won't stop some one from generating with the 
automake type without your workspace.

Wanting to deny a particular project type has never come up before.  But 
you could possibly do the following in each of your projects to ensure 
that automake can't be used:

project {
  Source_Files {
    conditional(automake) {
    } else {
      *.cpp
    }
}

This assumes that each project has it's own directory and that there are 
no generated cpp files.  If that isn't the case, this probably won't 
work or will require explicitly listing the cpp files.
