Yeah, those ZIP releases of the OSG 2.8.0 prebuilts should really have the
following files placed in the "bin" folder so they work out-of-the-box on
Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista without anyone having to install
the MSVC runtime crap.

*C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\Redist\x86\Microsoft.VC80.CRT
*\*
See:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/vcredists_x86.aspx

The debug prebuilts can't have the debug runtime included with them for
legal reasons.


Also, adding the following should cause the Visual Studio 7, 7.1, 8 or 9
runtime libraries to be copied to the "bin" folder when someone runs the
"INSTALL" target in Visual Studio.  I can't test this at the moment since I
don't own VS at home, only VS Express.  This should make packaging up
distributions of the OSG easier:

INCLUDE(InstallRequiredSystemLibraries.cmake OPTIONAL)
