Winelib developers have the option not to use Visual C++ runtimes at all.
If they need to access DLLs or executables installed by some other application
then the other program should install MSV*80.DLL itself or the runtimes can
be installed if missing just like you would do on Windows. The *other*
application needs them and is legal to redistribute them being targeted at
the Windows environment.
