If you just want a single executable, the default (libcmt) is good 
enough. It adds the C runtime as a static library in the link step.

The DLL version of the C runtime is used with msvcrt and msvcrtd (the 
latter is the debug version). This is usually needed if the executable 
passes memory or other resources to other DLLs. Microsoft recommends to
