p.s. I'll try to come up with an empty project and workspace for making externals in a day or two and post it online, now that I know how. Why doesn't this exist
Well, you could copy VC++ 6.0 projects from other externals / libraries (maxlib has one, for example). Most people seem to use the makefile directly, probably because you just need one makefile that contains all the information for all platforms. Instead of building a VC++ project / workspace from scratch it's also possible to 'import' existing makefiles. All changes still have to be made to the makefile directly (text editor), but it's possible to press F7 in VC++ to get everything compiled without having to type "nmake pd_nt" or whatever.
