Yes, indeed!  I finally brought in a friend who works with Visual
Studio at work all the time and made him take a look at it again.
Before we had even reached my apartment he had figured out what was
wrong - I had configured the settings on two of the four projects that
were being built. So we got home, fixed the remaining two, and it
compiled and linked without a hitch.

Alrighty - in the meantime I'll keep my files here, warm and ready. =)
