        Glad I didn't miss anything, sad it's such a state of affairs.

        I figure if the /MT flag causes any trouble on a particular
        platform, I'll just compile specifically for that platform
        and release a separate bin.

        Maybe it runs under wine?

        I've never used wine, but recently at the request of a customer
        installed a remote desktop program called 'teamviewer' on my
        linux box to view a problem they were having. It worked perfectly
        (a tall order, given cross platform remote desktop tools)
        but blinked the ENTIRE desktop when it started, and I wondered why.

        I looked at the executable and realized it was a shell script
        that ran a windows .exe under their own installation of wine,
        which contains an entire C drive in a .wine directory in the
        same directory as their .exe -- hilarious!

        Perhaps the gov should have compiled the tool with /MT :D
