Glad to hear I'm not alone !

The dev-90 package depends on msvc*71.dll (Visual 2003) and does not 
depend on msvc*90.dll, so no problem here.
But the worst thing is that these msvc*dll are handled differently than 
the other dlls (they can be found in this winsxs folder while it is not 
in the PATH).

The dev91 package *does* require msvc*90.dll, but does not accept the 
ones used by other packages.

OK same conclusion for me : there is something wrong with the dev-91 build.
As I never understood anything about those manifest/runtime issues with 
visual c++, I'm unable to further locate the problem.

All your tests are coherent with what I see on my side.
Thanks for all this intensive testing.

Now I know it does not come from my machine, and this is good information ;)
