importing a MS .sln file for a static lib - problems

I was just trying to import a .sln file from MSVC 2008 Express to compile a small static library file and had several problems.
I am using build 2674 of CL and I have attached the zip file which includes the source as well as the .sln and .vcproj files.
This way you can see all the things that don't happen.

While the import does not produce any errors,
it fills in almost nothing of the main configuration - it thinks it will be an .exe file, no output file name etc. ..,
no command line for the compiler, although it does keep the preprocessor defines and
there is not even a tab for the librarian.

I suppose I ought to be able to do most of that be hand myself, but then I would not need the import functionality ;-)
As well, I don't know enough about the gnu librarian and will have to study up on that issue.
