I know I'm a little late with my comments as this patch set has
already been merged to master. However, for future reference I'd like
to point out that something similar could be archived by using e.g.
CMake, and only maintaining the CMake project file. I'm not suggesting
to actually switch to CMake at this time, but I wanted to point out
that a guy called Pau Garcia i Quiles already seems to have created a
preliminary CMakeLists.txt file for Git [1], and also tried to build
Git for Windows using his CMake-generated MSVC project files.
