It may be worth a bit more. There are more employers out there who
look for people with "MFC" on their resume than there are who look
for any other class library.

"Win 95 + VC++ & MFC" is the industry standard. Of course, the fact
that these employers use such a narrow filter tells you reams about what
working there will be like.
