Note that the msvcrt.lib import libraries in newer Microsoft compilers
than MSVC6 confusingly don't link to msvcrt.dll, but the
compiler-specific DLLs like msvcr71.dll, msvcr80.dll, msvcr90.dll.

Well, this "Debug" vs. "Release" thing is in my opinion a smokescreen
presented by Visual Studio, it really makes it hard to understand what
is *really* going on...

It's important to know how to use link -dump -imports foo.exe from the
command line to see what DLLs an exe (or a dll) *really* uses.
