At the point where you bolt on a sed script on top of a bolted-on build 
procedure.

Using a Makefile from within Visual Studio is just not the intended way to 
do things, so you will hit the limitations sooner or later.

For example when the sed script encounters a situation which was not 
anticipated by the script author.

So I think if we support Microsoft Visual C++, it should be either through 
.vcproj files, or through a procedure that creates them.
