IDE Project Files exporter

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to create project files for different IDEs like 
Visual Studio etc from boost Jamfiles. I could not find a build-in way 
or any third party lib doing this. Has anybody here written an exporter 
and can give me some tips?

The best approach seems to be to write a toolkit which will write 
project files instead of invoking a custom compiler. Probably combined 
with a small command line utility which gets a file list and option 
list and writes the project files. Is there a better way?

greetings,
