Hallo Timo,

I have been enjoying reading your code from time to time over the past two weeks. Very happy to meet you. J

It would take 2-3 hours to create VS projects for all user-mode modules. This assumes, of course, familiarity with the peculiarities of the source tree, which I am learning with Amine. I will spend a bit of time understanding the existing model (lang model to disk building, etc.) once that is understood, I will create a single template for one CPU and one configuration, say, x86-32/Debug, and make sure that this template is perfect, meaning no errors or oddities of any kind. After that, for Amine and me, it is basically turn-the-crank to generate the others: x86-32/Debug, x86-32/Release, x86-64/Debug, x86-64/Release, PPC/Debug PPC/Release, ARMv7 Debug/ARMv7 Release, etc,. Setting up the project options is a big exercise in cut-and-paste, a boring-but-strangely-enjoyable activity, with little tweaks here and there. For example, let’s say that the all of the various ARM configurations were special, in that they required explicit specification of Little-Endian to the compiler. We would highlight all the ARM configurations, check the for Little-Endian box (or enter a flag), answer yes to the pop-up dialog, and all X configurations for ARM will get changed at once, while leaving the other configurations intact. The cut-and-paste is done from inside the IDE .

I will quote the valuable parts of the chat for those who missed it:

Answering the question of "How?"
[02:41] <+BlackRabbit> 1. Take the entire tree
[02:41] <+BlackRabbit> 2. Build projects that follow the tree exactly, using directory names, according to the tree.
[02:42] <+BlackRabbit> So, for example, calc would have a VS project file in it's directory.
[02:42] <+BlackRabbit> That's trivial, and would take about 2-3 hours.

Hmm.. just to get it right: What "would take about 2-3 hours"? Creating the VS project file for calc or for all of our (usermode) modules?
