Well, there isn't any real reason that we couldn't have the gen-make stuff
generate a bunch of flavors of Windows build systems.

Personally, I hate the fact that they are scattered throughout the source
tree. We don't do that with our other build bits. It should be possible to
put everything into a tree kinda like:

  build/win32/dsp6/
  build/win32/dsp7/
  build/win32/borland/

or whatever. Have one big ol' .dsw in there, and a bunch of .dsp files.
