New issue 8042 by rakudrama: Can't share vsprops between different solution  
files
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8042

I am trying to create a .sln in tools, e.g.  src\tools\foo\foo.sln

I wish to develop the tool without putting everything in  
src\chrome\chrome.sln (at
least not at this point.)

I am modeling foo.sln after src\media\media.sln.

I want to add src\base\build\base.vcproj to foo.sln.
I can't do this.  When I add base.vcproj to foo.sln, VS refuses, because  
base.vsproj
contains the line:
                        
InheritedPropertySheets="$(SolutionDir)..\build\debug.vsprops;.\base.vsprops"

Notice that for both chrome and media, $(SolutionDir)..\ is src\, but for  
foo.sln, it
is src\tools\, so it can't find debug.vsprops

This means that if I want to use the common vsprops, my .sln file has to be  
exactly one
level below src\, which is inappropriate for my .sln.  Can the build system  
be fixed to
that this restriction is lifted?
