The problem is that these functions will be available:
- on Wine in MSVCRT and MSVCRxx >= 80
- on Windows XP only in MSVCRxx >= 80 (if installed)
- on Windows 7 in MSVCRT and MSVCRxx >= 80 (if installed)
- no idea about Vista and other intermediate versions, service packs, etc.

What should the test do and where should it be located? In msvcrt/tests ? Or 
in msvcr90/tests ? Or create a msvcr80/tests ? Or...?

Would it be acceptable to test the functions only if available in msvcrt.dll ?

If the functions are not present should the code in msvcrt/tests attempt to 
load msvcr80 or msvcr90 or...?

What do you think?
