Yeah, for a project i work on, i really want a way
to write .sln files from automake's Makefile.am's.
(only a subset of automake that pertains to library
building need be emulated.)

from the command line, running 'devenv /build release gtk.sln'
would be nice and fast...

i hear there's an API for writing .sln files,
but parsing Makefile.am's is a pain, so this task is tough.
