Tell me about it:-) The only reason I use Visual Studio right now is that
I'm developing a music analysis plugin for Winamp. It feels like swimming
with lead weights strapped to my legs.

Nope, did not work for me. I removed all project files etc. and ran
srcdeps again. The linker still failes with this kind of error messages
(90 total):

XMLStorage.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public:
virtual void __thiscall xercesc_2_3::AbstractDOMParser::TextDecl(unsigned
short const * const,unsigned short const * const)"
(?TextDecl at AbstractDOMParser@xercesc_2_3@@UAEXQBG0 at Z)


My workaround is to open the project properties, and in the Linker->Input
dialog add the following to the Additional Dependencies field:

xerces-c_2.lib xerces-c_2D.lib

You'll recognize these as the xerces lib file names. I should mention that
I compile my project as a shared library, if that makes a difference.
Xerces resides in the usual place in the sandbox.

Regards,
Vegard
