[python-win32] More info about Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC)

[Thomas Pietrowski]

Hey,

I have general questions about MFC and hope you can answer them.
When compiling PyWin32 for Py2.7 and Py3.x I get successful builds, but
setup.py can't find the MFC libraries,
which are specified here:
https://github.com/thopiekar/pywin32/blob/master/setup.py#L1059
for Python 2.7, Python 3.3 and Python3.4. This happens while using Appveyor
and I contacted them about these "missing" files.
One of the developers contacted me back and asked, whether mfc90*.dll is
really needed for Python2.7.
I think the question is quite eligible: Why are exactly these versions of
MFC libraries strictly specified here?
Isn't it possible to take the latest version, which is available? (Which is
there for Python3.5 and 3.6.)

Hope someone can explain so I can understand and find a solution for it, so
we can build everything on Appveyor.

Regards!
