step for a target? I realize that may not make much sense outside of
visual studio projects. The install is specific to the game whereas the
libraries shouldn't be building with knowledge of the game so the
coupling isn't ideal.

I don't think most folks would want this.   You can right click on a 
target in vs and build it, you don't have to make it the default 
project.  For most developers, you do lots of building and testing 
before you install, and they would not want to install every time.
