For some additional data you might find useful, please see the attachment.

I have no data on msvcr7 etc, but about two years ago I gathered data on 
official msvcrt.dll versions in the wild on Win32 systems.  I believe 
mingwrt presently depends on at least some symbols in msvcrt that were 
not present in the 'original.'

Note the other annoyance that on some systems msvcrt.dll is
actually a renamed msvcrt10, msvcrt20, or msvcrt40, which are not the 
same thing but are vaguely compatible.  I'm not sure how this happens. 
Of note, they tend to be missing some symbols we might want, even though 
they were released at a later date than a msvcrt version that had the 
symbols.

Also note the high incidence of poor Microsoft programmers who were up 
late at night compiling msvcrt.dll, presumably to meet a deadline. :)
