[python-win32] slightly OT: missing windows.h/afxwin.h--how do Iget them?

[Mark Hammond]

I'm surprised windows.h doesn't come with Express Edition - but I'm fairly
sure it comes with the "platform sdk" - which is necessary for many of the
modules anyway.

afxwin.h is an MFC header, and IIUC, that is not available without the
full-blown MSVC.  This will prevent you building pythonwin/win32ui - but
should not prevent the COM and win32 packages building...

Cheers,

Mark
