[CMake] CMake & MFC

[Robert Dailey]

More updates.

I generated my MFC project as normal through CMake and still have the
mfc40.lib can't be found linker error. So what I did was remove 1 CPP file
from the project at a time, clean, rebuild and see what different results I
get. Well, once all of the MFC related CPP files (the app class, dialog
classes, etc) were removed, the remaining CPP files linked gave me this:

LNK1104: cannot open file 'libc.lib'

Now this is just confusing. What is this lib and why can't it find it?
