[sldev] Improving VS2005 builds -- what's needed?

[Soft Linden]

Dzonatas Sol brought up that VS2005 builds are unusuable during
today's open source office hours. What's the scope of the breakage?
>From comments, it sounded like there was more than just missing files
in the project.

While we're continuing to use VS2003 internally owing to using a
monolithic solution file that includes old VS2003 library
dependencies, I we can't commit to having someone building and running
QA on 2005 yet. Still, is there anything we can do/include to simplify
things if there are other manual repair and update steps you're
taking? It would be great if updates were as simple as pulling down a
community-updated VS2005 project file from a pJIRA.
