MS has nothing to with it; in fact, if it wasn't for their 
ridiculously restrictive license, we could and would have shipped 
with the official libs for years.
Self-sufficiency is now possible due to the existence of 
MinGW[-w64] and work from Rainer Schütze (using the MinGW .def 
files as basis for the COFF libs included with DMD) and myself 
(adapting that scheme for MinGW-w64 and LDC). See the linked PRs 
in the release log if interested in more details.

It currently targets the Visual C++ 2015 runtime, as that's the 
last one supported by MinGW-w64. That version will likely change 
over time.
