I realize that Microsoft has made the cross-platform build problem gratuitously hard, having dropped support for automatic Makefile generation as of VS7. But UNIXen aren't any better.
Please explain to me carefully why I should put a lot of effort into generating undocumented .sln files for a platform that I do not use, when there is nobody paying me to do so? It is true that "automake" is completely wound up in emitting code for "make", but where is there an engine for emitting ".sln" files that can be readily bolted to some- thing that emits Makefile.am's? Am I hearing you volunteering?
What version .sln files? With version 7.0 MS introduced an XML file format. Sounds good, right? Apparently not since the XML file format was significantly overhauled/modified for 7.1.
Meanwhile 'make' continues to function as always. :-)
