You don't even need power shell or visual studio. Just use the msbuild program installed with .Net. Usage example is like this:

msbuild DBMigration.csproj /p:Configuration=Debug

msbuild is located at C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5 (or select your version)

There is also a powershell build system, https://github.com/JamesKovacs/psake

I've found msbuild in C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin!
