It should not be too difficult I imagine. Obviously Visual Studio 
keeps tracks of all the files in the project and it would be very 
simple to combine the files.

e.g., it shouldn't be hard to pass all the project files to 
dustmite on the command line. I imagine Visual D could copy all 
the files in the project to a temp project and run dustmite on it?

In fact, I suppose one could create a simple command that does 
that automatically. I'm new to dustmite so I'm not sure how to 
use it at this point but on the surface it seems like something 
that is relatively easy to add yet could be very useful.
