Visual Studio 2010 seems to insist on having this import in web application projects

<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" />

What does this import give us and is it really required?

On a side note if you remove this import with a text editor Visual studio will re-add it.

The reason i am asking is when the project is compiled on a build server that target does nor exists because visual studio is not installed.
