From a Mac, tell VMWare to run MSBuild in the Mac's current working directory. Any arguments will be passed through to MSBuild. Usage: `cd path/to/web.sln && msbuild-here.sh [args]`

msbuild-here.sh

#!/bin/sh -eu
#
# This script runs MSBuild in a VMWare image from a Mac. It translates the Mac's
# current working directory to the corresponding Windows VM path to a shared
# directory. Any arguments to this script will be passed through to MSBuild.
#
# Usage: cd path/to/web.sln && msbuild-here.sh [args]
