But that would have to be kept in mind by the maintainer, and he could not 
test it.

Besides, IIUC you were proposing a generator, while I suggested a 
rewriter.  My idea would require much less work, as the changes to the 
original, known good, .vcproj are minimal.

So let's have a script (if anybody feels compelled enough) that we can run 
from time to time and when it updates at least one of the .vcproj file, we 
throw the result at Frank Li for testing.
