-Builds a Microsoft Visual Studio project file,

-</para>
-
-<para>
-This builds a Visual Studio project file, based on the version of
-Visual Studio that is configured (either the latest installed version,
-or the version specified by
-&cv-link-MSVS_VERSION;
-in the Environment constructor).
-For Visual Studio 6, it will generate a
-<filename>.dsp</filename>
-file.
-For Visual Studio 7 (.NET) and later versions, it will generate a
-<filename>.vcproj</filename>
-file.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-By default,
-this also generates a solution file
-for the specified project,
-a
-<filename>.dsw</filename>
-file for Visual Studio 6
-or a
-<filename>.sln</filename>
-file for Visual Studio 7 (.NET).
-This behavior may be disabled by specifying
-<literal>auto_build_solution=0</literal>
-when you call
-&b-MSVSProject;,
-in which case you presumably want to
-build the solution file(s)
-by calling the
-&b-MSVSSolution;
-Builder (see below).
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The &b-MSVSProject; builder
-takes several lists of filenames
-to be placed into the project file.
-These are currently limited to
-<literal>srcs</literal>,
-<literal>incs</literal>,
-<literal>localincs</literal>,
-<literal>resources</literal>,
-and
-<literal>misc</literal>.
-These are pretty self-explanatory, but it should be noted that these
-lists are added to the &cv-link-SOURCES; construction variable as strings,
-NOT as SCons File Nodes.  This is because they represent file
-names to be added to the project file, not the source files used to
-build the project file.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The above filename lists are all optional,
-although at least one must be specified
-for the resulting project file to be non-empty.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-In addition to the above lists of values,
-the following values may be specified:
-</para>
-
-<para>
-<literal>target</literal>:
-The name of the target
-<filename>.dsp</filename>
-or
-<filename>.vcproj</filename>
-file.
-The correct
-suffix for the version of Visual Studio must be used,
-but the
-&cv-link-MSVSPROJECTSUFFIX;
-construction variable
-will be defined to the correct value (see example below).
-</para>
-
-<para>
-<literal>variant</literal>:
-The name of this particular variant.
-For Visual Studio 7 projects,
-this can also be a list of variant names.
-These are typically things like "Debug" or "Release", but really
-can be anything you want.
-For Visual Studio 7 projects,
-they may also specify a target platform
-separated from the variant name by a
-<literal>|</literal>
-(vertical pipe)
-character:
-<literal>Debug|Xbox</literal>.
-The default target platform is Win32.
-Multiple calls to
-&b-MSVSProject;
-with different variants are allowed;
-all variants will be added to the project file with their appropriate
-build targets and sources.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-<literal>buildtarget</literal>:
-An optional string, node, or list of strings or nodes
-(one per build variant), to tell the Visual Studio debugger
-what output target to use in what build variant.
-The number of
-<literal>buildtarget</literal>
-entries must match the number of
-<literal>variant</literal>
-entries.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-<literal>runfile</literal>:
-The name of the file that Visual Studio 7 and later
-will run and debug.
-This appears as the value of the
-<literal>Output</literal>
-field in the resutling Visual Studio project file.
-If this is not specified,
-the default is the same as the specified
-<literal>buildtarget</literal>
-value.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Note that because &SCons; always executes its build commands
-from the directory in which the &SConstruct; file is located,
-if you generate a project file in a different directory
-than the &SConstruct; directory,
-users will not be able to double-click
-on the file name in compilation error messages
-displayed in the Visual Studio console output window.
-This can be remedied by adding the
-Visual C/C++
-<literal>/FC</literal>
-compiler option to the &cv-link-CCFLAGS;  variable
-so that the compiler will print
-the full path name of any
-files that cause compilation errors.
