I agree with Brian.  Maitaining MSVC projects would be a waste of time 
for us.  Even when we use MSVC we just use scons and MSVC command line 
compilers.  I never use MSVC IDE to develop or debug Mesa -- I do most 
of development in Linux, mostly with MinGW, and just build Mesa w/ MSVC 
when necessary.
