It might be possible to write a generator that produces a makefile automatically from the VC.NET project files; contributions
At the time of Visual Studio 6, such a "generator" had been written by Microsoft, and was part of the VS6 package -- i.e., you could produce and save a makefile for the project you had loaded. Is this no more the case for the current release of Visual Studio...?

Yes, they removed that functionality (or at least I wasn't able to find it). I used Visual Studio 6.0 to generate a good makefile in my tests. In VC 7.1, you can feed the project file into the compiler via a command line flag. I think you needed to use the GUI to build in 6.0, so MS provided the makefile export feature for people who wanted to do automated builds and other stuff where you couldn't rely on the gui. So the feature became obsolete from MS's perspective. Unfortunately, I don't think the command-line compilers in the SDK will accept a Visual Studio project file.
