Yikes.  As far as I know, the Microsoft Visual-C/C++ runtime routines
are freely redistributable.  Anyone know different?

By the way, FM will soon let you call your own C code in a DLL, so
you will have the best of all worlds -- a simple but reliable framework
for doing all the things a plug-in needs to do to interface with the host
application, plus total freedom to write the filter algorithm itself using
whatever compiler tools you like.
