[impdev] Windows build issues

[chris-tuchs at hushmail.com]

I got the exp branch of the github repository imprudence /
imprudence (using git://github.com/imprudence/imprudence.git)
Set my path and ran develop.py like

python develop.py -G VC80 configure -DPACKAGE:BOOL=OFF

As expected it dies soon after creating/editing the .sln file.
Then I used the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition to
choose "release" and then build > build solution.  Some time
later it finished.  I looked inside imprudence-bin.exe and found

<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" 
manifestVersion="1.0">
  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC80.CRT" 
version="8.0.50727.4053" processorArchitecture="x86" 
publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyIdentity>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC80.CRT" 
version="8.0.50727.762" processorArchitecture="x86" 
publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyIdentity>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
</assembly>

So either it's a bug common to both forks, or special to my
machine/setup.  I still am using the edited crtassem.h.  I'm not
married to the VC I'm using.  If there's another free tool I can
use that I might have beter results with (win xp pro for the
'os') I'd be willing to switch.

Thanks again for all your patience and help!

Chris
