Happy New Year! :-)

I created *.vcxproj* files for Scintila (SciLexer.dll), lua (static
lib) and SciTE (exe) sources with a solution SciTE.sln compiling them
all. It is quite useful if you want to customize and debug SciTE on
Windows and use MSVC. (I understood that the *.dsp files are not
maintained anymore.)

I put the project files to the existing vcbuild directories (next to
the *.dsp files for VC6). I left mostly VC project defaults there;
they should work with VC Express too; I'm just not sure if Windows SDK
7.0 is bundled with it or must be downloaded separately.

Feel free to distribute them with SciTE sources or on the SciTE wiki.
I uploaded them to http://prantl.host.sk/scite/scite-2.23-vs2010-projects.zip.
You can just unzip them in the same directory where you unzipped
scite223.zip.

Let me know if you have any questions about them.

The current status is that I don't test them but will accept
patches. Its probably time to remove them since they are difficult to
make work. Since I don't test them, copies included in releases often
fail to build

I'd prefer alternate build files to be on the wiki. To be included
in releases, it should be possible to regenerate build files when
lexers are added or removed (by running scintilla/src/LexGen.py) and
it should be possible to run them from a command line on Windows 7 so
they can be tested by scite/scripts/checkbuilds.bat.

No problem, the wiki sounds good too. I'll look at the LexGen.py and
checkbuilds.bat and add patched versions to the package.
