Certainly. Anybody packaging an extension module needs to make sure
all libraries it uses are either already on the target system, or
delivered along with the extension module. Developers could refer
users to the redist package, or they could literally include the CRT
with their package (which is easier with VS2010 than it was with
VS2008).
