?

not copied yet, must be added to the nsis-script
> - As above, I think 71, 80, and 90 are needed, 60 and "t" may be in
system32 already(?)
see above
> - 71 and earlier ones are in %USER%\Local
Settings\Temp\install_msruntime\bin, but no 80, 90, and rerunning the 2008
installer there (repair mode for me since already installed) doesn't get
me anything new AFAICT. (even after a reboot)

maybe yes

extralib/. That'll be needed for all other osgeo4w packages using
gdal19.dll anyway.

on the otherhand I'm not sure if the msvcr files need to have the user be
presented with the clickthrough license, or if you can just legally copy
them where you like silently)
no idea
