I've often thought a worthwhile project would be to only recreate those DBF files on the fly when the form/report/visual class is edited, but make the code the actual artifact that is kept around. That would have made source control so much better. The way we do it now is backwards.

If VFP didn't have visual classes with the metadata and code snippets in DBF files, and there was a way of defining the UI declaratively, like for example XAML in WPF, then that would be a runner.
