If you have time and energy, you can try to eliminate duplicate and unnecessary settings, using VS defaults wherever possible. For optimization, it's probably still useful to copy over some of the PCbuild8 settings (although I'm not sure what the precise constraints on the feedback optimization are). Also, we should consider how to manage both the trunk and the 3k branch - they should definitely use the same compiler, so perhaps a lot of project files can be shared. For the multi-architecture thing, there should be build settings for both x86 and AMD64; Itanium is probably irrelevant. I'm still undecided on how the directory layout should be; people probably will keep asking that you can use the same sandbox for both architectures, and other people will keep asking that the layout should continue to be compatible with Python 2.5. So perhaps we can put x86 binaries into PCbuild directly, and AMD64 binaries into PCbuild/amd64. If you find that you absolutely cannot build some extension module from the sources that are in external (e.g. openssl), feel free to import newer releases (provided that they actually work).
