Converting .vcproj files to msbuild (w/out needing vcbuild)

As I’ve been reading about msbuild, I’ve noticed articles that mention
msbuild’s incapability to natively read .vcproj files. In short, executing
msbuild blah.vcproj causes msbuild to invoke vcbuild to perform the actual
..vcproj processing. I’ve been working on a tool that converts .vcproj files
to msbuild formatted files so, with the appropriate C++ tasks (including cl
and link tasks), a user could build his code on the command line without
needing vcbuild. My question is: does anyone out there think this is
particularly useful? Has anyone spoken with customers who want or need this
capability now?

Thanks.
