   OT, but to answer your question.  C# has assemblies which vaguely   
   correspond to conventional libraries.  Command-line builds are   
   usually done by devenv.exe / msbuild.exe, which read project   
   structure and compiler/linker settings from XML files (they're   
   actually readable and self-describing.)  I guess the envisioned   
   use-case is to at least define project structure in the IDE,   
   so you can then build either from cmdline or IDE.   
      
   In about a week of using VS, I learned where to find most compiler and   
   linker options.  If I'm looking for something and don't find it where   
   I expect, I google around msdn.
