This was backed out earlier today due to weird errors, especially with regard to linking and symbols. Some people have also reported that Visual Studio can think everything is out of date and rebuilds when it's not necessary. If you would like to keep trying this change out, do this locally: http://chrome-svn/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/build/internal/essential.vsprops?r1=7533&r2=7573 and restart Visual Studio.
