Well, I looked more seriously into it and it appears to be a problem with
lines ending. When checking out .dsp files, I'm getting lines ended with
CR CR LF, which seems to cause problems in the VC++ IDE only when a
specific build command is needed. In our case, only patterns.dsp is
impacted. This is still a bug, but not what I thought at first, and
probably not fixed in any MS VC++ service pack.

I just took a look at the archives and realized that we're assuming that
.dsp and .dsw files are binary and stored as such in CVS. While this is
true for .dsw, it is not for .dsp ones, which should be stored in CVS as
normal text files IMHO.
