Actually, Microshaft cunningly packaged the MFC into a dll, and even
included that dll with Windows 95. Only problem is, and I already
tried this, impdef.exe only gets you the entry point to a jump table.
In other words, these OOPS classes, cunningly packaged as a library
dll, can only be reached if you know their function numbers, er, I
mean, object numbers. Now, what we really need are two devious souls:
One to develop an impdef program that gets the functions behind the
jump table and their numbers, and another with enough legal expertise
to tell us if it is legally a no-no to do this.

Go forth and spend, even waste, some money at the bookstore of your choice.
