You don't have to do anything except re-run gen-make.py. It'll pick
up the new .c automatically.
Use something like this gen-make.py command to get project files:
python.exe .\gen-make.py -t vcproj --vsnet-version=2005
--with-httpd=c:\projects\apache\httpd
--with-zlib=c:\Projects\Apache\zlib123
--with-openssl=c:\Projects\Apache\httpd\srclib\openssl
You don't need the --with options if you don't need/want them. See
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/INSTALL for step by step
instructions.
Most of the complexity stems from the fact that Subversion depends on
several external libraries of varying support for Win32. Some are
makefile, some are dsp project files, etc.
What specifically are you having trouble with? And, of course,
patches to improve and/or simplify the process would be welcome.
