Whoops! As Mumit also pointed out there are some other libraries which rely
on the specific C run-time you are using and have to be recompiled to make
the change. Basically if you are using the C++ standard libraries (including
iostreams) or other libraries (other than the Win32 API libraries) you
should recompile them under the new specs. This may be rather tedious and/or
difficult if you have to compile something like (say) the C++ standard
libraries, or if you don't have the source code readily available.

However, for plain C code and only your own libraries (or ones that don't
depend on the C run-time) the solution I gave should work AFAIK. <crossing
fingers>

Good luck,
Colin.
