I heard back from the Windows team and they are going to require the app 
container bit to be set on all PE files (although they don't currently enforce it).  
I was able to compile a simple .c file and pass /link /appcontainer and that 
worked, so I'm going to try and figure out if there's some way to get the .vcxproj 
to build a working command line that includes that.
