The way we've been doing the Opus stuff is to have the project files
expect a build in a parallel checkout. so:

c:\dev\flac\FLAC.sln expects to find an ogg build in
c:\dev\ogg\win32\VS2010\

Not as obvious as having a monolithic build, but it seems to work once
you've figured it out. And each arch and target can reference the
corresponding target in the dependency.

Good idea, but... there are 5 folders in libogg/win32: VS6, VS2003, VS2005,
VS2008 and VS2010. And FLAC provides solution/project files for MSVS 2005.
Should FLAC project files refer to libogg/win32/VS2005? But I suspect that
developers use mostly newer versions (2008/2010/2012).

The project files aren't compatible with FLAC by default anyway as they 
default dynamic linking to runtimes. Either one needs to bundle own 
project files that assume certain directory structure or some other way 
needs to be thought of. One option that would not require extra work 
from the user is to bundle the ogg sources.
