Do you know: editing VS project files made easy

In VS 2005, you can edit project files (.csproj, .vbproj etc) in VS itself while they are loaded.

1. Right click on the project node in Solution Explorer and ‘Unload Project’.
2. Now right click on the project node again and select ‘Edit <project file>’.
3. This opens the project file using XML editor. Make the changes you want.
4. Reload the project by selecting ‘Reload project’ by right clicking the project node again.

  Is there anyway for VS.NET 2005 to read or export from a Project file a standard C++ make file?
