Aha. Thanks for the explanation.

Yikes. Do 7.0 and 7.1 still have single-threaded versions of the 
runtime? I assume the 'd' extension is for the debugging versions. 
That's 12 permutations. Even if we ship three sets of binaries, it 
sounds like the sdk should include source and a project file for each 
version.

Is there a best-practices for this sort of thing? I can't imagine this 
sort of developer support is unusual.
