While it won't include project-specific macros, if you open the Developer Command Prompt for VS (It's in your Start Menu, it's like cmd.exe but with VsDevCmd.bat as part of the launch options), you can type set and it will list out all that it can see, including things like FramewokDir, WindowsSdkDir, etc.
