It depends what do you want to do. Implement native support or just
importing to MD format. In case of native support:

Every language binding has a MSBuild task that is used during the build
by a file imported on the end of .*proj file (like
Microsoft.CSharp.targets for C# projects). MSBuild handles whole build.
All that SD does with saved .*proj file is loading it and executing
Project.Build ().

SD has a kind of abstraction layer between IDE data and MSBuild items
and properties.
