The latter. One of the nicer things about the generated projects is that
they are dumped in build/win32/SUBDIR/ rather than scattered across the
system.

The .vcproj generation came from some work that Brandon Ehle had done, but
is (obviously :-) not tested right now. We use relative paths for the .dsp
projects. Should be easy to do the same for the .vcproj projects.

I've still got some work to do on the .dsp generation and build stuffs.
After that, I could potentially tackle the .Net stuff, too (I've got both
VC6 and .Net). It would be nice if somebody could tackle the .Net work
sooner rather than later, tho.

Cheers,
