https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2015-September/027679.html Windows ports (Apple and WinCairo) switched to cmake 4 months ago, vcxproj files are dead code, we should remove them from the trunk. There are random/speculative changes for these files since then for nothing.

We have intentionally left these files in the tree. We have not done all the internal validation we need to with the new build system. We will remove them when we do.

The question is if the old build system is still used and working fine or not. If the answer is no, it is dead code and should be removed from the trunk as soon as possible. Just ask Filip about this very important rule. ;)

I'm going to proceed with this. There are still a few things that happen to be in the vcxproj directories that we still need, such as DLLLauncherMain.cpp, so this won't be done all in one patch.
