You miss all diagnostics from other tools than the compiler, for one thing.

There is a simple solution to that, however. MSBuild and VCBuild repeat
all warnings and errors produced during the build at the bottom of the
log. I just checked on mastodon (VS 2005, the oldest), and it does that
already.

This depends on the whole build being done using a single solution file
that contains all the individual projects, but there is no reason to
assume we will start building individual projects instead, I assume.
