pitrou opened a new pull request, #45043:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/45043

   ### 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.
