Not really. The problem stems from the other degrees of freedom -
release/debug, static/dynamic libs, static/dynamic RTL.
To say the truth there's no notion of single/multi threaded in makefiles
for VC now...

We do have one. Don't we?

------------ from curl/Makefile -----------
vc8:
        @echo "generate VC8 makefiles"

# VC9 makefiles are for use with VS2008
vc9:
        @echo "generate VC9 makefiles"
