Indeed, the real problem are the header files, which are not available
in /usr/include/w32api
I simply copy the original MSVC (6) MFC headers to a private subdir
and patch these there.
The stack manipulation #pragmas and some more MS specifics need to be addressed.
If I have a working Stdafx.o the rest is easy.
