I'm not sure that would fix the problem I've described. Given that it 
only affects a small number of developers (typically people that write 
software tools) its not worth the effort. It is darned annoying if you 
happen to be one of those people though.

The EULA does allow you to copy debug dlls within an organisation, just 
not between organisations.

If you wanted to do what you suggest, I guess the easiest starting point 
would be the CRT from the Wine project given that they must have the 
vast majority of imports and exports from the DLL already implemented.
