Since the developers can use different versions of the same third-party 
library, I do not have the option to put all dlls in the same directory.

I could potentially create custom commands to copy all of the runtime-required 
dlls to a single directory, but I really do not want to do this.

The slnenv add-in (mentioned in previous posts) would give me the capability 
that I need.  I could simply add a single line to the slnenv file in order to 
set PATH.  My only problem is trying to generate a slnenv file for each sln 
file generated.  My project has a hierarchical structure, and I can build 
from lower-level solution files if I only want to build subportions of the 
overall project.  This means I would have to generate a slnenv file for the 
lower-level sln files in addition to the top-level sln file.

I would just like to know the best way to generate the slnenv files.

Thanks,
Justin
