It's not only the file format that has changed, it's the complete build
process for C/C++ that got switched from VCBuild to MSBuild. The convert
wizard seems to have some trouble with escaped characters like '\&quot'
which is used for enclosing the value of CMAKE_INTDIR for example. Removing
all '\&quot' in all auto converted .vcxproj files I was able to compile my
solution.

Unfortunatly that's still not all. I can't link just yet. Got a boatload if
unresolved externals for basic_string and stuff. I tried with another small
project and got the same errors, creating a new solution from scratch works
fine.
