[patch] Build support for VC++ 2010 Express

[GoogleCodeExporter]

From compiling.txt:
"You're gonna need Visual Studio .NET 2010 (NOT the express version!) to build 
the project. Express version might also work but it might do weird stuff and 
you'll need a Windows SDK, so I would not recommend it if you're not sure what 
you're doing."

Being reasonably sure of what I was doing, I gave compiling in Express a try.  
It turns out I had to make very few changes to get it to work.  The only 
problem was that the .rc resource files include a MFC header whether you 
actually use MFC or not.  MFC does not come with the Express versions of Visual 
Studio, nor does it come with the Platform SDK.  The attached patch file seems 
to be the most acceptable workaround for this.

Unless this patch breaks anything in the professional versions of VC++, I think 
support for Express might make it easier to get more coders involved in the 
project.

unless it fixes a bug in the actual emulator, patches don't get accepted 
according to psyman.

Well, I could apply the patch and pray that no one uses MFC in the future... or 
I could take no action and have people get an MFC alternative, an older Windows 
SDK that includes the missing file, or a trial version of Visual Studio which 
includes MFC.

Maybe I should wait for raz' opinion.

Actually, there's no real reason to use MFC at all. Unless this breaks 
anything, it should be merged in  (i'l get to it myself, but i don't have the 
time right now). Can ya do it Psy/KrossX ?
