### Rationale for this change Bundling `msvcp140.dll` in Python Windows wheels risks crashes or undefined behavior if another Python package loads another version of the DLL. ### What changes are included in this PR? Instead of bundling this widespread DLL, we let the user install it themselves in the (relatively unlikely) case it is not already available on the system. This ensures that a single DLL version is shared between all Python packages. ### Are these changes tested? Not directly, hoping for user reports. ### Are there any user-facing changes? Yes, Windows users might have to install `msvcp140.dll` themselves if it is not already available on their system. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
