Probably still the case.  I know you can only generate Xcode projects on OS X.

You mean zipballs, right?  Windows can't untar by default. :)  Another 
dependency...

I guess the usual "CMake way" would not be to provide VS project files with 
your tarballs at all.  The user would use CMake to generate the project file 
for whatever version of VS/Xcode *he has*, and use that to build the libusbx 
library.
