VS uses MSBuild to do the build, so it would "work". The problems
would arise if, for example, you reference a project that outputs a
module from another project. You'd be able to run into all sorts of
weird problems.

The "reliable" way to do it would be to write a new project type. VS
would be able to build it but not load it, unless someone wrote a VS
addin.
