really, do not use them, really not.

The only reasons they are still there is because some developers like
them to navigate through the code. You don't need them to debug nor to
build PHP (manually creating a sln using the bins work just fine too,
or using manual breakpoint like __debugbreak, or using windbg+debug
symbols).

To build php simply follow the instructions in the wiki.
