if I manually create a "Win32 project" using MSVC wizard it indeed 
creates a project where the WIN32 symbol is in the preprocessor symbols.
I think that the WIN32 symbol should be removed only from the "msvc" format 
and preserved in the MSVC IDE project formats.

yes, it does (although it does not define _WINDOWS -- thus bakefile correctly 
adds it currently). But unlike reported above for the preprocessor, 
if I manually create a "Win32 project" using MSVC wizard it creates 
a project where the WIN32 symbol is NOT in the preprocessor symbols 
for the RC compiler.
