It would be nice to remove ATL/WTL dependencies from Chromium so that
people can build it with Visual C++ Express.

While rewriting our UI code is unlikely to happen overnight, I was
thinking that it should be possible to at least build test_shell
without ATL.  Unfortunately, we have a handful of dependencies in base
and in our webkit port.  Some of these are trivial to fix, others not
so much.  I filed a handful of bugs against the ones that I found, so
if you've got some downtime or are looking for a small focused bit of
work to bite off, take a look at one of these:

base/wmi_util.cc - bug 5021 - lots of COM
webkit/tools/test_shell - bug 5022 - a few small issues
webkit/default_plugin - bug 5023 - UI for handling plugin installation
webkit/activex_shim - bug 5025 - more COM
tools/grit - string table .res files generated with ATL dependencies
