When I meant "redistribute" I meant not install the CRT but keep it in 
the same dir as python2x.dll.  This is one of the permitted redistro 
options of the MS crt.  Of course, the point is moot since this is about 
the 2005 compile, not a C install.

This hack is fast becoming quite troublesome :)

I wonder if there is a way to glean the minor version number of the CRT 
from some exposed variable, rather than just trying out different sizes?
