No, you only have to wrap the functions that do memory allocations, like
strdup. The discreet documentations says it's strcpy, but I belive that's a
bug... But now that I think about it, that doesn't fix your problem, because
you still have to provide msvcrt70.dll :-P

Note, that the only problem is just that vc7 is linking with a different
runtime library. What you can do, is to put MSVCRT70.LIB in the ignored
list, and add msvc6's MSVCRT.LIB to the library list. That's a bit dirty,
but it 'might' work. I haven't tried that myself, though.
