FWIW, for multiple visual studio projects since VS7, I create
independent solutions for each version of Visual Studio for my own
projects and use a name that embeds the name of the compiler.  I use
.vs6, .vs7, .vs8 and .vs9 to identify the version of Visual Studio.
For example, the project.vs6.dsp, project.vs9.vcproj,
solution.vs6.dsw, solution.vs7.sln, solution.vs9.sln.  This means
duplication but also freedom between projects/solutions for different
version of the tools.

Just my 2cts.
