There is a very old, long-standing open bug (in the "backlog" now) that outlines many of the issues related to supporting pre-compiled headers.
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=1260 Doing a "copy and rename" strategy for StdAfx.cpp is a reasonable work-around until such time as this can be addressed in a general way. General support for this particular feature does not appear to be on any short-term horizon as far as I'm aware.
