Hi Anton,

In fact we probably don't need to maintain the vc8 build projects since 
it seems to be very easy to move back from vc9 to vc8.

Simply changing the line:

	Version="9.00"
to
	Version="8.00"

in a vc9 *.vcproj file makes it into a project file that will work in 
vc8 (which simply ignores the vc9 features in the file).

I have done this on quite a few projects and, so far, it has worked 
every time.
