    Seems that Unity needs a way for us to hook in our own editor code before the build process begins.

    There's the PostProcessBuild attribute that does this after a build, and there's the PostProcessScene attribute that allows code to be executed when each scene is built (although I don't know how you tell which particular scene it's doing at the time).

    It would be useful to have a new attribute for this purpose.

    How about using BuildPipeline to make your build. You can do whatever you want before you call that API.

    That is an option - although it's Pro only (which is fine for me). I was really just looking for an equivalent to the PostProcessBuild attribute. I worked out a solution to my original problem but I think I'll make a suggestion in Feedback.
