The gtest's msvc directory has the gtest project file, and opening it with Visual Studio enables me to select the build out of 8 configurations(gtest/gtest_main/gtest_prod_test/gtest_unittest x release/debug) with Batch Build.

How can I do the same thing with msbuild tool? For example, how can I tell msbuild to build gtest/Debug or gtest_unittest/Release?
