Thanks for the catch Stephan. I missed the mention of the static 
libs.

Out of curiosity, if the MSVCRT is now ABI stable and there is 
therefore now much gain from shipping bug fixed DLLs, what's the 
point of keeping static libs? Even on embedded systems like xbox and 
Windows Phone I don't see the cost benefit.
