Yes, that's what I use wherever possible, but in some circumstances I
have to use the DLLs.

That's just not acceptable. I'm working on one rather large project that
includes some 40 DLLs. There's no way we should be forced to pay the
penalty of 40 copies of the run-time library, besides the fact that it adds
an additional level of complexity to memory allocations.

Microsoft has BROKEN something that was NOT broken, with absolutely no
discernible benefit for application developers.
