Problem solved, there is no such thing as a medium memory model DLL, 
at least not under MFC. The reason it is trying to link mafxdwd.lib
is that the names of the libraries are put together according to
a convention:

mAFXcwd.LIB

m=Memory model (Small, Medium, Compact, Large)
c=Create (C=Exe, D=Dll)
w=Target (Windows, R=Realmode Dos)
d=Debug (if present)

So VC++ is trying to look for the library to build a medium memory model
windows dll with debugging information. No such thing as a medium model
DLL, so there is no library file.

RTFM: Appendix B of Class Library Users' Guide

Build in large model and all will be well.
