I don't believe this. If that's true, then how do all the other .vcproj
things work? They're in a different directory from both the object and
source directories.

First, I'd like to see this in the form of a patch. I can't follow your
descripgion.
And what happened to the plan to create a neon.vcproj? I'd prefer that
to relying on .dsp conversion. We have a generator, after all, and we
have to make it work. I'm disinclined to accept patches that make
.dsp->.vcproj conversion work instead of making the generator work.
