Re: docgen / XP / scripting v5.6

Gen<X> was built w/ VC++, but it seems we linked statically against the CRT libs.  MSVCRT.dll is loaded into our process space, but indirectly, by things like Shell32.dll and OleAut32.dll.  As Sam says, this shouldn't be a problem.  If it is... then it's something very nasty and insidious.  :-/
