vsvars32.bat in PowerShell = vsvars32.ps1

I've been using PS to do batch changes to my c# projects. Things like changing the build location to a common \bin folder and changing approriate HintPaths etc.

Anyway... Even though I've been using PS for a while I still use the old cmd line to do various tasks using msbuild, gacutil etc. It's always been a little annoying not having a ps1 version of vsvars32.bat. I've finally gotten around to doing it. It's a very literal translation but it works fine.
