you will probably also need to add the nsprpub include paths,
different for debug and release, so for example, for debug add
mozilla\dist\win32_D.OBJ\include;mozilla\dist\include

don't need to do that. main() works fine. Just make sure when you
start the project to say it is a win32 *command line* application, not
a win32 application.

you can simply add these to the project settings, rather than adding
pragmas to the source code. Saves you the trouble of having to add or
merge this code again later.

you need to define "DEBUG", for debug builds (the standard setting for
a win32 project is "_DEBUG", but nsCOMPtr expects "DEBUG")

you can create a working project in msdev without changing a single
line of the winembed source code. enjoy!
