I think wanting to distribute an OSG app and _not_ wanting users to
install the VC redist package is a relatively uncommon case. Most
people will either already have the redist package installed (most
games require it be installed nowadays, for instance, which may be
sufficient precedent...) or will have no problem installing it.
So considering that case is the exception (IMHO), and IIRC we still
have one unresolved case where it did _not_ work without the
manifests, I'd vote to keep it ON to keep it as it was before, by
default.
I would have thought it wouldn't hurt anything to turn it off (i.e. I
would have thought that without manifests it would work in all cases)
but that report caught me off guard, which is why I'm voting to keep
the old behavior for now.
