[issue32535] msvcr140.dll has been replaced with vcruntime140.dll

Steve, I tried building the pyhsmm project (https://github.com/mattjj/pyhsmm) using:

python setup.py build -c mingw32

I got a link error saying that -lmsvcr140 could not be found. Then I realized that msvcr140.dlll doesn't exist. Instead, vcruntime140.dll seems to be the correct DLL. I was only able to build that project after making the modifications mentioned in my previous message, which requires changing a few files.

In order to try to reproduce the problem, one should try to build that project after installing Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable or Visual Studio 2015 to fall into the same MSVC version case as mine.

Does this clarify the issue?
