Indeed.   But it means it's very likely that *some app* at microsoft.com
is bundled with it.

Sure, if we build gecko with visual studio 2003, it'll have to come with one.
We might also find ourselves needing to bundle a few more windows binaries
with Wine someday, and those might happen to require other redistributables
(e.g. mfc42).
