It seems that I have to set up a BuildXL project, which can then generate a Microsoft Visual Studio Solution file.

What about the other way round, I give BuildXL a sln and build it.
And a visual Studio addin with automatic network discovery, or sth. like distcc which just replaces gcc and does the magic behind.

Most Users (even if they are developers) are searching for something easy to use. Out of the Box.
Throw it into THEIR (sometimes highly customized) build system, and it should work and improve their situation => faster distributed build.

Imagine a solution with 120 projects inside. (like we have...).

I didn't try BuildXL yet and I also have to say, that the documentation can be improved.
There is no binary download so the QuickStart should contain:
Checkout
Configure the libraries used and everything else.
How to compile.
How to create a minimal example.
How to build the minimal example.
How to build the minimal example DISTRIBUTED.
