I'm a little bit surprised by this. I admit that when I've built WebKit with VC
in the past I've only done it from WebCore.pro, but in general qmake -tp vc
should work with subdirs since vcsubdirs in generators/win32/msvc_project.cpp
creates a VC solution (sln) file.

In Qt for example we have projects.pro in the topleve that creates
projects.sln, which loads all Qt subdirs (libraries, examples, tools, etc.) as
one gigantic solution VC and allows building the entire beast :)

So what was the problem you ran into when using qmake -tp vc?
