yes.  It seems to me that if the user uses the "Create Project" option,
which invokes the wizard, and then chooses any option other than an empty
project, then VC++ will generate a StdAfx.h and StdAfx.c, both of them
being present to allow it to manage precompiled headers.

I've just tried making a Win32 console application that supports mfc and it
creates a "Hello, world" that initialises the MFC.  The obvious
differentiator is that StdAfx.h includes afx.h and afxwin.h.

I would suggest that we take the hint from the afx.h (which looks as if it
only contains stuff required for MFC and is clearly essential for MFC)

p.s. Winemaker's impressive!
