Getting MFC and ATL for Visual C++ Express edition

I'm working on a project in Visual C++ Express edition, as I'm too broke to buy a proper edition. However, Express does not come with the include files for the Microsoft Foundation Classes, which I need to build my project.

As far as I know the express editions came with the source of MFC and ATL, but did not contain any binary builds of them. I think they did supply make files, and it may be possible to build them.

Would you not be better to buy a standard edition of VC++, you'd definitely pick up one for under €100.
