[impdev] Windows build issues

[chris-tuchs at hushmail.com]

Good-news bad-news.

Good:  I was able to make a "zip" of a directory that runs.

Bad:  The .exe still claims to need both ...762 and ...4053 
versions of MSVC.  Haven't tried setting up to "package" yet.

I tried changing crtassem.h, was obvious which line to change.  
Didn't make a difference.  Got a fresh copy from the git repo.  
Will try again later with a fork/clone from the official 1.4 exp 
branch.  See if there's some breakage on Onefangs fork, or if it's 
the real state of things in impy-land.

Thanks again for all your help.  Any ideas on why two different 
version of MSVC are described in the .exe, or how to make it pick 
one, I'd love to hear it!
