October 2012 SDK: there's still no convinient way to package multiple web projects in a single web role.

Joe's solution generally works fine. But sometimes there are file lock issues occur during the build in VS 2012.
So it's better to put the script in Pre-Build Event of Azure project.

For each web project add the following line to Azure Project -> Properties -> Build Events -> Pre-build event command line:
$(MSBuildBinPath)\msbuild.exe "$(ProjectDir)..\WebProject1\WebProject1.csproj" /T:PipelinePreDeployCopyAllFilesToOneFolder /P:Configuration=$(ConfigurationName);PreBuildEvent="";PostBuildEvent="";PackageAsSingleFile=false;_PackageTempDir="$(ProjectDir)\bin\$(ConfigurationName)\Sites\WebProject1"

To automate: add this Post Build Event to each website project, replacing "AzureProjectFolder" with your Azure project's folder. Then right-click the Azure project, select Project Dependencies, and place a check next to each website project.

%WinDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe "$(ProjectPath)" /T:PipelinePreDeployCopyAllFilesToOneFolder /P:Configuration=$(ConfigurationName);PreBuildEvent="";PostBuildEvent="";PackageAsSingleFile=false;_PackageTempDir="$(ProjectDir)..\AzureProjectFolder\Sites\$(ProjectName)"

Publish each web application to a location on your local file system. Then in serviceDefinition.csdef, point your Site tag's physicalDirectory property to that location.

This introduces a lot of extra work and opportunities for mistakes though, especially in a team environment where multiple people may be publishing a cloud service project containing multiple sites.
