Our build generator is in Python, so you have to have a working knowledge of
Python to alter how the MSVC project files are written. If you want to learn
more about Python, now might be a good time. ;-)

Specifically, I think you are going to need to change how
build/generator/gen_win.py, gen_msvc_dsp.py, and gen_vcnet_vcproj.py work.
The gen_base.py file shouldn't need to be touched, but it might. I just don't
know for sure.

As for SWIG/Java, I think it'd have the same issues as javahl on Windows. If
someone gets one working, the other shouldn't be that hard to add. (Is it
working now? I didn't think it was.)
