Won't that still be an issue despite the stable ABI? Extensions on Windows should be linked to the same version of MSVCRT used to compile Python - and every time we switch version of Visual Studio it is usually accompanied by a switch in MSVCRT version.

My understanding (but I haven't looked closely) was that the stable ABI specifically excluded anything that would expose a problem due to a CRT mismatch -- making this a moot point. I'm sure Martin will correct me if I am wrong.
