What's wrong with an ordinary VS2003 post-build step? Some tips:
1) use the $(DevEnvDir) parameter to avoid hardcoding a path to vsvars32.bat;
2) use the 'call' command to reference that batch file -- recognizing
that everything you type into that post-build event window is going to
get dumped into a batch file, of its own!
3) surround the path to vsvars32 with doublequotes, because you very
likely have spaces in that pathname.
4) recognize that the current working directory is the $(OutDir).
this affects how/where al.exe will look for its input arguments...
call "$(DevEnvDir)..\Tools\VSVars32.bat"
al.exe .....
