 I noticed that load_win_installers.sh pulls the Visual C++ redistributable
 from home.gdal.org.  That server is going away and it isn't clear to me
 why that redistributable was needed.

 Most of the Visual Studio redistributables are available in the OSGeo4W
 msvcrt package.  I think the vcredist_x86.exe grab should be removed from
 load_win_installers.sh.
