5) MSVC users tend to like DSW and DSP files instead of make files. They
make it convenient to use the IDE.
If
1) the IDE supports using arbitrary tools to build files (for example, using the Perl script "process-x11-fields.pl" to generate "x11-declarations.h" and "x11-register-info.h"
and
2) either there's a way to include "Makefile.common" to get lists of source files in the project or somebody writes a tool to generate .dsw and .dsp files from Makefile.am and Makefile.common
then MSVC++ users might get what they'd like. Otherwise, it's very unlikely to happen - you're not going to get all users who add new source files to Ethereal firing up the Visual Studio tools to update the .dsw file every time a file is added, as some of those users don't have anything that can run Visual Studio (yes, I know about Wine, but not everybody doing Ethereal development necessarily has it - or even has a machine capable of running x86 code!).
