I thought msvcrt shipped with windows as early as XP; was I wrong?

  Even earlier; but that's a private system library you're not supposed to use. Raymond Chen explains it: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20140411-00/?p=1273 https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20140411-00/?p=12... Microsoft's new Universal C Run Time addresses the problem of there not being a C library on Windows that is for public use (every compiler vendor providing their own).
