The VC8 libraries (CRT, ATL and MFC) will add pragmas that add manifest 
entries (Windows XP side-by-side DLL installs) for that library by 
default. VC8 will then use that information to embed the manifest into 
the executable. _CRT_NOFORCE_MANIFEST prevents these manifests being 
automatically added.

NOTE: I currently have VC8 beta 2 (looking to upgrade shortly), and that 
uses _STL_NOFORCE_MANIFEST (see the use_ansi.h header file).
