You can do it the other way around as well.  Create a new cpp file in 
your project that has nothing but the STL and Boost includes (no 
stdafx.h) and some basic exercising code and see if it compiles (it 
should, unless the problem is a project setting).

Then gradually add your app-specific headers one at a time until it 
breaks.  If it's a "big" header that breaks it (like stdafx.h itself), 
then try adding the individual includes within that header instead of 
including the header itself, again one at a time until it breaks.

If there's lots of includes, you can do a bisection search on it -- add 
half at a time, then if it breaks remove half of those, etc.  If you're 
careful this can be a bit faster sometimes but it's probably simpler to 
stick to one at a time if your compile times are fairly short (which 
they should be if you're just compiling the one file each time).
