How to build a VS2010 MakeFile project (vcxproj) with TFS Build (No VS 2010)

Question

I have a project that was building fine in VS 2008, and then we installed and started using TFS Build, and then we upgraded to TFS 2010. Everything was still fine and build

An improved alternative to BlueMonkMN is to add

  [path_to_the_fileset_listed]

as a level 1 child near the top of the vcxproj.

The path could include an environment variable or some other well-known path containing variable.

This makes less of an an intrusion and is easier to revert than changing lots of lines.
