Our build generator is in Python, so you have to have a working knowledge of 
Python to alter how the MSVC project files are written.  If you want to learn 
more about Python, now might be a good time.  ;-)

Specifically, I think you are going to need to change how 
build/generator/gen_win.py, gen_msvc_dsp.py, and gen_vcnet_vcproj.py work. 
The gen_base.py file shouldn't need to be touched, but it might.  I just don't 
know for sure.

As for SWIG/Java, I think it'd have the same issues as javahl on Windows.  If 
someone gets one working, the other shouldn't be that hard to add.  (Is it 
working now?  I didn't think it was.)
