There is yet another consideration which might kill this entire discussion. The beta VC++ 2005 Express includes everything one would want, nmake, cl, lib, link et al. It does not have msvcr70.lib in it's lib/ tree. It does have msvcrt.lib. In SDK\v2.0\Bin one also finds msvcr80.dll. Which means, it appears, that msvcr70.dll never 'arrived' and has been orphaned. Perhaps ActiveState took a better route with Perl than Python.
