That macro is attempting to pull in the static version of MFC, which is
causing the failure.  We link to the DLL version of MFC.  Although they are
a bit vague, things I read on the web imply pythonwin does *not* need this,
as it is a full blown MFC DLL (ie, an 'extension DLL').  Either way, the
fact AFX_MANAGE_STATE tries to drag in the MFC static library seems a
deal-breaker.  I'm afraid I'm out of time to dig much more into this.
