I was fighting with similiar project last year - and cursing Microsoft
:-) DevStudio has built in tests for the "consistency" of the project
files. One of these "tests" rejects the file if there is Unix newline
instead of DOS cr-lf bs. Yet they did not bother to warn that there are
obvious problems like several silently enforced size limits (e.g. max
length of include paths is 760 chars or so).

I gave up and switched fully to Cygwin make driving VC++ in batch mode.
Be warned.
