VisualD import path

I guess you are referring to the VC project integration.

It only changes the compiler command line.

This is the msbuild way to do this, but I'd consider it slightly 
advanced usage of it (in contrast to just using the UI - which about 99% 
of users only know about).

I don't think it makes sense to try to document msbuild, but 
documentation could emphasize that the VC integration makes all the 
features of msbuild available.
