Solving this correctly isn't going to happen overnight, and I'm less worried about quickly getting a way to get compiling on Windows to work, than I am about solving the whole problem (source -> build -> package -> publish)
Generating VC project files that do not depend on Shared Library Packages is a short-term hack. Fixing the one in the middle isn't accelerating the whole thing anyway.

It's a lot of damn work, and it's not sustainable, and is only useful as a temporary work around. Building the tools to handle all of this will happen, and in a reasonable time-frame.

Other projects don't have any Windows build infrastructure. Having a way for them to generate the VC project files such that others can easily build the packages would be more handy for them.
