Is it not possible to have two macros?  One for VS 2010 and one for
earlier?  I know you dislike code divergence, but you already have different
code paths already for the generators.  It doesn't seem much of a stretch to
have separate macros for multiple versions of VS.  The bug seems to indicate
that there are working solutions for both VS 2010 and VS 2008, but they are
different.
