If you are considering adding VS files, it's a better idea to create 
similar VS6.0 .dsw/.dsp files instead-- 6.0 workspace files are forwards 
compatible with VS .NET and 2005 through an automatic conversion in the 
IDE.  However, VS2005 adds extra information to the sln/vcproj files, 
which makes them not backwards compatible with any older VS.
