That's pretty much what I've seen done.

You can try it, but I've found that the debug version of that code will crash, unless
that code is compiled for, and linked with, the DLL version of the runtime.  Also
it appears that certain routines are missing from the static debug runtime, for
example "strchr".  This was with MSVC, v6 sp5

The release versions of those static libaraies are configured for static linking of 
the runtime and appear to work.
