The file contains a return 0 stub implementation of WinMain. It invokes neither CPython nor the mysterious "icon file" mentioned in a commit message. Also, git grep empty\.c finds no match.

It was created in ab9351b 18 years ago with no annotation or any other associated file, and was never modified since.

I believe it was part of the old installer - there are certainly references to this file in the Python 2.7 sources, though I didn't trace them all the way through.
