Personally, I come from the Unix world, work on Windows only out of
necessity, and either avoid MSVC or leave it to others to figure out as far
as possible. So my opinion may not count for much.
That said, short of moving to a more Windows-friendly build system such as
CMake, I see no good options. But the status quo looks good enough to me --
i.e., just do a patch to fix the project files when you notice a missing
entry.
