Re: Unable to run BitPim in WIndows 7; MSVCP71.dll error

Here's some links from Microsoft describing the files, their use, and
their redistribution limitations.  The last link describes why and how
to include them in the setup packages made by developers.

No, I'm not being a jerk, just wanting to clear the air that they are,
in fact, redistributable.
