For what it's worth, NTP uses a single windows config.h to build with
VC6, VS 2003, 2005, 2008, or 2010 (using 2008 .sln/.vcproj files).
With a bit more work I suspect all the Visual Studio versions could
share a single set of .sln/.vcproj files.

Rather than rely on perl scripts to mangle your .sln/.vcproj files,
you may be able to share universal .sln/.vcproj files which resolve
library paths using environment variables.  For example, notice the
references to $(OPENSSL_INC) and $(OPENSSL_LIB) in these lines from
ports\winnt\vs2008\ntpd\ntpd.vcproj:


AdditionalIncludeDirectories="..\..\ntpd,..\..\..\..\ntpd,..\..\include,..\..\..\..\include,..\..\
..\..\lib\isc\win32\include,..\..\..\..\lib\isc\include,$(OPENSSL_INC),..\..\..\..\sntp\libopts"
                                AdditionalDependencies="ws2_32.lib
winmm.lib $(OPENSSL_LIB)\libeay32.lib"
