Which brings me back to needing a .vcproj -> makefile conversion tool. At the moment, I can't find any references to anything other than the full version of Visual Studio being able to do this.

It is possible that a 2 stage process may get you something.

prjconverter converts from VS .NET .vcproj to VC 6 .dsp: http://www.codeproject.com/tools/prjconverter.asp

dsw2mak converts from .dsp to makefile http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mingw/utils/scripts/dsw2mak.in

I experimented with prjconverter for my projects a while back but decided it was easier to maintain the different build files in parallel by hand instead. I haven't tried dsw2mak.

Here is someone trying to build Python using dsw2mak: http://uucode.com/texts/python-mingw/python-mingw.html
