VS Integration has always been for commercial only, and that has been 
formally deprecated by Nokia.  They aren't developing it anymore (in fact, 
they had stopped in the 4.3 or 4.4 timeframe) and encourage everyone to now 
use the Add-In (which is available for GPL and LPGL) as well.

Regarding the original poster's question, I don't believe the Add-in will 
generate a .pro file for non-Qt projects, but it shouldn't be very hard to 
construct one.  If nothing else, just create a temporary new Qt project and 
add all the files from the non-Qt project, then export the temporary Qt 
project.  Alternatively, open a command prompt and use qmake -project to 
generate a .pro file from the files in the current folder.

But then settings like compiler/linker are not necessarily set right.  So 
maybe just examine the .sln and .vcproj of the Qt project and add the 
relevant lines into the non-Qt project to fool the Add-in into thinking it 
is a Qt project.
