   I guess this is because the current Winemaker assumes that if a file
called 'stdafx.h' is present then the project is an MFC one. Maybe this
needs to be fixed, but I'm not really sure then how to detect that a
project is an MFC one. Maybe it should look for an atl.h or afx.h when
it is parsing the files to fix the include directives. Unfortunately
this is done too late in the process...
   When does VC6 create this 'stdafx.h' file anyway? I know it's used
for precompiled headers but not all projects using these have it. Is it
one of the wizards that does this?
