Hah, apparently that works.
I initially didn't try because I wasn't able to get the original project to
work with VS 2010, but re-creating it in VS 2010 made it work, so I thought
it's a limitation of VS. But it looks like during the upgrade VS added some
magic incantations to the project files, so we can now build a backwards
compatible version with 2012. Yay!
