Why say it's not supported if there is a build file for it?  OK, ok, so support is more than just providing a build file.  But if it builds with that environment and there are build files already created and being submitted for it, then why not either include them in the over-all project or at least provide information on the developer's website that includes information on where those files can be acquired.  Knowing that there was a functioning nmake-compatible build file for MS C++ 2003 toolkit would have made my life about 100x easier this past summer while I was trying to build a program with Sword integration that might have succeeded (and hopefully will once I get home in December) if I had been able to locate an nmake file.

Is there something novel about the VC8 project files that requires their
inclusion in SVN (as opposed to allowing the IDE to update the project
files to the new format)? More project files mean we have more to
maintain, something to be avoided if possible. I think the facts that
MSVC 8 isn't yet released and isn't yet one of the environments we
support suggest we ought to hold off on including VC8 files for now.
