It won't be easy to build the XSD/e runtime library with a VS project.
That's the reason why we use nmakefiles for that. The VS projects are 
just not powerful/customizable enough. Have you considered building
libxsde using the standard method (that is, via nmake)?

Generally, the libxsde build consists of the following steps:

1. The libxsde/xsde/config.h file is generated based on the 
   configuration read from config/config.nmake. This file 
   contains #define's for various configuration parameters
   that are, in most cases, named the same as variables in
   config.nmake.

2. Based on on the configuration read from config/config.nmake,
   nmakefile creates a list of files that will be compiled and
   included into the resulting library. Certain files are only
   include if particular configuration parameters are enabled
   or disabled.

It may be possible to create a VS project that builds the XSD/e
runtime library for a specific configuration. For that you will
need to create the config.h file manually (or use one created
with the recommended build process). Then you will need to add 
to the project file all the C and C++ files that are compiled 
in this configuration. To figure out which files to include you
will need to study libxsde/xsde/nmakefile.

That's because the istream.cxx file is only compiled if XSE_CDR
configuration parameter is on.

Again, this file is only used when polymorphism is enabled.

xmltok_impl.c should not be explicitly compiled. It is included into
the other file. See libxsde/xsde/nmakefile for details.
