That works straightforward:

# BeltDRIVE XBeltSimGui Build Jamfile

project XBeltSimGui
  : requirements <define>_AFXDLL 
                 <user-interface>gui
                 <toolset>msvc:<linkflags>/ENTRY:wWinMainCRTStartup
  : build-dir ../../Library/XBeltSimGui ;

SOURCES = XBeltSim3DView
          XBeltSimApplication
          XBeltSimChildFrame
          XBeltSimDocument
          XBeltSimGuiFunctions
          XBeltSimGraphicsServer
          XBeltSimMainFrame
          XBeltSimResultView
          XBeltSimTreeView          
          XBeltSimMDILogo          
          XBeltSimClipBoard  
          XBeltSimAboutDialog        
          XBeltSimHlinkctl        
          XBeltSimProductSelectionDialog  
          XBeltSimContextMenuServer
          SampleOverloadedDialogPage ;

exe BeltDRIVE : $(SOURCES).cxx XBeltSimGui.rc
     : <toolset>msvc
       <user-interface>gui:<define>_WINDOWS
       <linkflags>/map
     : debug release
     ;
     
<define>_AFXDLL means the application uses MFC extension DLLs,
<linkflags>/ENTRY:wWinMainCRTStartup is needed because our applications
are Unicode enabled.
