If you have the same libraries that are used in VS 2008 and VS 2010, is there some good tool or technique that allows you to keep both the 2008 and 2010 project files in sync?

The same project files can be loaded in both VS2008 and VS2010. If you mean solution, however, then yes, it has to be different.
What I do is just create 2 solutions:
MyProject2008.sln and MyProject2010.sln
It does mean I have to manually add projects to them once but these can be exactly the same projects files and since project structure doesn’t change often in a solution it isn’t a big problem in my eyes.
Hope it helps.
