A couple of hours of experimenting later...

Yes, it is true: MSDEV (in true Microsoft fashion) truncates very long lines in the dsp file, and so
you need to be careful.  However, it seems that if a line is split, you won't have any problems.  In
my case, I changed

# ADD LINK32 something somethingelse

to 

# ADD LINK32 something
# ADD LINK32 somethingelse

and my problems were solved.

I will make the corresponding changes to CMake.

Geoff.
