I'm not sure why we'd need to.  The MPC setup has to assume the user has set
up the PSDK with VCExpress according to the documentation.  This is
documented here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235626(VS.80).aspx and here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/aa700755.aspx.  Apparently I forgot
that I did this when I set it up on my development machine -- it was a while
ago.

Changing MPC would be further complicated by the fact that it doesn't
distinguish between Visual C++ 2005 Express and Visual Studio 2005, they're
both "vc8".
