 the lastest msvcrt-1.0.1-7.tar.bz2 has following content:

 {{{
  Verzeichnis von C:\dl\msvcrt\msvcrt-1.0.1-7

 14.04.2013  21:25    <DIR>          .
 14.04.2013  21:25    <DIR>          ..

 14.04.2013  21:25    <DIR>          etc
 }}}

 with in \bin

 {{{

 14.04.2013  21:25    <DIR>          ..

 attached a patch for msvcrt-1.0.1-7.tar.bz2 (not tested yet cause no
 access to my build box at the moment) by executing only
 vcredist_2005_x86.exe, vcredist_2008_x86.exe, vcredist_2010_x86.exe

 IMHO sorry I have '''really no''' idea which of these are really needed or
 maybe msvcp60.dll, msvcp70.dll, msvcp71.dll, msvcr71.dll, msvcrt.dll
 should also be added, it's out of my knowledge ...
