Also so that you're not depending on the host machine's MSVCRT.DLL.
That .DLL is often targeted by malware: it makes such a perfect place to
drop hook functions.

(Putting that .DLL on the stick is a healthy practice, not a replacement
for sane practices.  Don't plug a USB stick into an untrusted machine,
period, end of sentence: but in the event that one of your trusted
machines gets compromised, having your own copy of MSVCRT.DLL on the USB
stick may help prevent the spread of infection.  *May*...)
