You have it backwards here. The msvcrt.dll that MinGW-compiled code
uses, and that it requires trickery to get MSVC-compiled code to use,
is part of the Windows OS and always present. It's msvcr71.dll,
msvcr80.dll, or msvcr90.dll that need to be shipped together with
applications that use them.

CreateEvent() returns a HANDLE that can be waited for. So put it in a
GPollFD and have GLib watch that.
