Yay for msvcrt version lossage *mutter*. My favourite was .NET 2.0 cl linking 
against v8.0 which was provided with the SDK for everything -except- x86 
architectures, and not available otherwise at the time.

I believe it's the fault of Zed Shaw's (or whoever builds the win32 gem) 
version of Visual Studio linking stuff against it - yes, it is probably 
hardcoded in the so. I believe the easiest thing will be getting the 7.0 
version and dropping it on the PATH until someone forces the VS to link 
against v7.1.
