There have been problems with the bdist_wininst exe-stub linking to the
wrong CRT dll, but I don't remember the exact details.

And recently I played with bindings to OpenGL's glut32.dll - glut calls
exit() from internal C code.  If linked with the wrong CRT, this will do
nothing instead of terminating the process.
