OK I see you and Kim Kuen Tang just fixed that one on R000905-branch.  The
same fix was created in branch oh_functions courtesy of our colleague Sun Quan
aka June with some feedback from the eagle eyed Luigi.  I'll delete branch
oh_functions and the fix will appear on the trunk when I merge the
R000905-branch.

Class Repository already employs a workaround to allow std::map in a DLL,
we'll invesitgate whether the the same fix can be used for ProcessorFactory.

The binary QLXL release is compiled with /MT so there is no issue with run
time dependencies.  On my machine I have
1) VC8 Standard + SP1
2) VC9 Express
I'm not aware of any reason to favor one over the other for the binary release
and am planning to use 1).

For other purposes I use the dynamically linked XLLs which require /MD and in
that case I use 1) just because the run time DLLs are more widely distributed,
though in any case if they're missing you can use the relevant vcredist
package as Luigi pointed out.

Eric
