This series fixes the scripts which generated Visual Studio project files. The scripts had bit rotted over the years as other commits changed the git makefile which it post processed. The series doesn't attempt to install the Visual Studio compiled product but allows Windows developers familiar with VS to support the Windows SDK port of Git. The fixes are presented in a fine grained manner. A previous patch series were at $gmane/21132 (2014-11-20), $gmane/21207 (2014-12-26), and on Msysgit list (2015-02-23) https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en_US?hl%3Den#!topic/msysgit/aiEVBKjRshY https://github.com/msysgit/git/pull/318/files Hopefully it's not too late in the cycle for a review of this contrib/compat item.
