The downside to this tactic is that a committer that is only using VS2010, who adds a file, will only be adding it to the VS2010 solution.
Some other user with VS2005 would have to open up the VS2005 solution in VS2005, and add that file in separately... Well, that's assuming that we're relying on VS to make the solutions files. You can auot-generate/update them. The format is fairly straightforward, XML like. It could be scripted to keep them in sync.
