"""
To add this tool to your project:
def options(conf):
	opt.load('msvs')

It can be a good idea to add the sync_exec tool too.

To generate solution files:
$ waf configure msvs

To customize the outputs, provide subclasses in your wscript files::

	from waflib.extras import msvs
	class vsnode_target(msvs.vsnode_target):
		def get_build_command(self, props):
			# likely to be required
			return "waf.bat build"
		def collect_source(self):
			# likely to be required
			...
	class msvs_bar(msvs.msvs_generator):
		def init(self):
			msvs.msvs_generator.init(self)
			self.vsnode_target = vsnode_target

The msvs class re-uses the same build() function for reading the targets (task generators),
you may therefore specify msvs settings on the context object::

	def build(bld):
		bld.solution_name = 'foo.sln'
		bld.waf_command = 'waf.bat'
		bld.projects_dir = bld.srcnode.make_node('.depproj')
		bld.projects_dir.mkdir()

For visual studio 2008, the command is called 'msvs2008', and the classes
such as vsnode_target are wrapped by a decorator class 'wrap_2008' to
provide special functionality.

To customize platform toolsets, pass additional parameters, for example::

	class msvs_2013(msvs.msvs_generator):
		cmd = 'msvs2013'
		numver = '13.00'
		vsver = '2013'
		platform_toolset_ver = 'v120'

ASSUMPTIONS:
* a project can be either a directory or a target, vcxproj files are written only for targets that have source files
* each project is a vcxproj file, therefore the project uuid needs only to be a hash of the absolute path
