Current ones? Not offhand. Simply experience from trying to push Ruby
on Windows to be built with VS2005/VC8 instead of VC6 or mingw.

I recall seeing some libraries that I wanted to port to VC8 that
allocated memory on calls but didn't have a library-specific free
implementation. These things don't actually matter on most Unix
systems as there's only ever one C runtime, but I ended up giving up
on it because the task of maintaining third-party ports was too large
(pdcurses was one, I think, but I could be mistaken) and uninteresting
to me.
