Unfortunately VC++ 2008 doesn't work with 2005 files without an upgrade.

Keeping VC8/VC9 builds in separate directories is a good idea, but I'd 
prefer that vcprojs are in separate directories (as it is now) so that 
obj files can be put in the project's directory.

I suggest keeping the win32 directory structure but:

-Have "win32-vc8" and "win32-vc9" directories for llvm and clang.
-Move "clang.sln" out of llvm/win32 and into clang/win32

Is everyone ok with this ?
